Frozen Embers

Calling out from ice and crystalline
Fiery hearts, sheltered from the skin we're in
And poke holes, get rid of the smoke, don't suffocate
Singeing the pages with inches and wages, we wait

And I'll take this frozen blanket for my rose anchor
And I'm on fire, so melt the ice
Push

Break this season
Burn through this dichotomy
Broken branches
Separated you from me

Release the embers stored within
Uncover what the wind had forgotten
Tree trunks and tree limbs and fingers set ablaze
Cracking the glass, still hacking at these empty days

And tree bark turned to tree rot, turned to stone
Drowned in silence, so find your voice
Push

Break this season
Burn through this dichotomy
Broken branches
Separated you from me

Summer sun in glow beneath the ice,
Can't seem to break free.
Summer sun in glow beneath the ice,
Trying to break free, beneath me.
Summer sun in glow beneath the ice.
Melting underneath me.

And I'm on fire, so melt the ice
Push

Break this season
Burn through this dichotomy
Broken branches
Separated you from me.
