Augustana - Ash and Ember lyrics
[Augustana - Ash and Ember lyrics]
Am I seeing double, am I withdrawn
Depositing lyrics into a love song
Spider weaving webs for a
Catch that won't come
Am I pulling roses from a dead bush
A soldier running late for the ambush
Ready in the depth for a
Stone that's long gone is it too late?
It's never ending but nevertheless
I'm the first one to second my guess
And the fire in my heart
Came from ash and ember
And every I step I take
Got the devil to repay
I'll never make it out alive
But, I won't surrender
Had to take it day by day
Had to learn the hard way
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember
Am I reaching out for something
That I can't grab
Something infinitely splitting into
Two halves is there something I forgot
That I can't remember
Am I swimming in a river that was manmade
Demolishing a road that was just paved
It's like trying to catch a
Junebug in late December is it too late?
It's never ending but nevertheless
I'm the first one to second my guess
And the fire in my heart
Came from ash and ember
And every I step I take
Got the devil to repay
I'll never make it out alive
But, I won't surrender
Had to take it day by day
Had to learn the hard way
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember ash and ember
Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung
Am I simply gonna finish where I started from
Is the future just the past
That I'll never outrun
And every I step I take
Got the devil to repay
I'll never make it out alive
But, I won't surrender
Had to take it day by day
Had to feel the heartbreak
Like a phoenix I was born from ash and ember
Ash and ember ash and ember
Am I stealing something I could borrow
Is yesterday just waiting for tomorrow
Depositing lyrics into a love song
Spider weaving webs for a
Catch that won't come
Am I pulling roses from a dead bush
A soldier running late for the ambush
Ready in the depth for a
Stone that's long gone is it too late?
It's never ending but nevertheless
I'm the first one to second my guess
And the fire in my heart
Came from ash and ember
And every I step I take
Got the devil to repay
I'll never make it out alive
But, I won't surrender
Had to take it day by day
Had to learn the hard way
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember
Am I reaching out for something
That I can't grab
Something infinitely splitting into
Two halves is there something I forgot
That I can't remember
Am I swimming in a river that was manmade
Demolishing a road that was just paved
It's like trying to catch a
Junebug in late December is it too late?
It's never ending but nevertheless
I'm the first one to second my guess
And the fire in my heart
Came from ash and ember
And every I step I take
Got the devil to repay
I'll never make it out alive
But, I won't surrender
Had to take it day by day
Had to learn the hard way
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember ash and ember
Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung
Am I simply gonna finish where I started from

That I'll never outrun
And every I step I take

I'll never make it out alive
But, I won't surrender
Had to take it day by day
Had to feel the heartbreak
Like a phoenix I was born from ash and ember
Ash and ember ash and ember
Am I stealing something I could borrow
Is yesterday just waiting for tomorrow
