Comes The Death Of A Moment Lyrics

When every fixture goes dark

I'll sift through ashes alone

Trying to find something warm

Between charcoal and stone

We watched the flame

Inside the hearth

As it was whittled down to sparks

No light, no heat

Just charred remains

Of what used to be our hearts

Flickers and gleams

Would show between

The kindling once used for burning

But they would ebb and die away

Just like desire

Just like our yearning

When every fixture goes dark

I'll sift through ashes alone

Trying to find something warm

Between charcoal and stone

No light

No heat

Just charred remains

Of what once lived in our hearts

We watched the flame

Inside the hearth

As it became our vices

No light, no heat

Just smoldering ashes

We watched as every fading moment

Left a seeping burn to match its heat

And as the burn turned skin to blister

We choked on smoke to feel complete

We choked on smoke to feel complete

We choked on smoke to feel complete

I remember how the flame stood in its youth

So grandiose, so timeless

So much light left in it to exude

But life ends

Everything does, I guess

But how it bloomed from just a spark

I recall us watching the seeping

Tendrils of light

Drift into the dark

I remember how the light slipped off to black

How darkness overcame the room

And how the fear of never going back

Stuck to us like an ashen, ancient gloom

Rusted and long forgotten

What was once sacred

Is now rotten

I still remember how the dying embers

Popped by just a touch

How burned our hands became

When we reached for the heat too much

I still remember how a flame once roaring

Settled down

Into a silent

Hush
