Songtext Ember Iceage

Ember

At a moment’s notice, you wrecked the ship
One error, then you’re fucking dead, boy
Heavy rain, so you climb the cloud
Perched in the sky
Never dared to stay behind, well, never mind
An ordinary shift pays well enough
Hand to mouth, and there’s nothing to it
You’re a tadpole swimming in the sewer

Hold fort and hoist your sails, baby
With nothing here and nothing there
A knowing stare, swift undermined
It’s hard to find
With shuttered blinds and downcast eyes
Coordinat?s, my little navigator
Pump the veins, but your h?art’s not in it

I love you in an ominous way
Are you willing to pay
Are you willing to break
With all that’s layn before you
Before you’re swept and breathless in the dirty ground

So many times
You’ve ran for dear life
But I caught you like an ember
Caught you like an ember falling
Caught you like an ember falling down
