Ascension

[Verse 1] You draw the shade to keep the morning out I reach for glass and let the daylight shout With steady hands I try to stitch the seam You tear it wide to wake me from the dream [Chorus] Every cure is a heavier stone I leave you safe, I leave you alone You crumble down when I offer my palm Turning the shelter into a storm [Verse 2] I pour the water where the fire is red You choke on ash and wish you were dead My gentle touch becomes a jagged blade No matter where I pull, the colors fade [Bridge] The air grows thin, the pressure builds inside There is nowhere left for either of us to hide [Female Vocal Solo] [Voice: Caribbean accent] E-rup-tion! [Breakdown] [Instrumental] [Male Vocal] [vocal_gender: m] Eruption! [Outro] Ashes falling through my open hands Nothing left of either of our plans Dissolving slow into the evening air I held you tight, but nothing was there [Instrumental]
