Embers

[Verse 1]
Waiting for things to return to the way they were,
But you’re not living — you’re just getting older.
Through faces and shadows, through the endless route,
You walk down a road where no one waits for you.

You forgot how to laugh, but you remember the time,
The sky grows higher, and the doors grow wider.
You’re searching for warmth but striking the ice,
And it feels like no one will bring back your life.

[Chorus]
You scream into the void, but no one hears, (no one hears…)
And your heart beats slower and slower. (slower…)
Thoughts turn to ash, burning in the fire. (in the fire…)
You wanted a home, but it exists only in dreams. (in dreams…)

[Verse 2]
Once you believed that it all had a meaning,
Even in ruins you could feel the feeling.
But years are like waves, eroding your dreams,
Now only sand remains inside, it seems.

You built from the dirt, you pushed through the storm,
But every sunrise became your new harm.
You remember your path, how you lost yourself,
And every step you take is a shadow of yourself.

[Chorus]
You scream into the void, but no one hears, (no one hears…)
And your heart beats slower and slower. (slower…)
Thoughts turn to ash, burning in the fire. (in the fire…)
You wanted a home, but it exists only in dreams. (in dreams…)

[Verse 3]
You left your dreams to grow strong and mature,
Broke your own wings, in pursuit became obscure.
Exchanged your will for the voice of the crowd,
And betrayed the self you once were proud.

You thought, “It’s time,” thought it was your growth,
But every success carried a question’s oath.
Now you stand before doors that remain closed,
And the past whispers: you’re not who you supposed.

[Bridge]
The world where you were alive stays in dreams,
The home is empty, left with only the seams.
But if under the ash there’s still a glimmer of light —
Hear my voice:

I was here…

now I’m gone.

[Final]
You’re not alone, though there’s no one around.
You feel the pain — it means you’re still found.
From pain and ash, a path is reborn:
You can walk it — if someone gives you the push to move on.
