Embers of Amber

Flames of fire burning as yellow and red hues
Who I have become, I can't make up any excuse
Wishing they were there for me, I never had a chance
So many feelings lost to them, for not a second glance
The coals that scorch still burn within, they can't vanquish the flame
And if they begged down at my feet, I'd still tell them the same
The embers, they still burn throughout, though you can't see a flare
Everyone fades so far away but I am everywhere

Your actions will not hinder me,
Your motives hold no ground;
The tender heart you won't deface
My love is all around

Your mudslides will not bury me,
Your oceans will not drown;
The apathy I still embrace
The key you never found

Burning crimson river flowing through these veins of steel
Though I know I'm soft deep down, that's hardly how I feel
An iron coat to shield my heart, they won't penetrate
The lies they tell won't be enough to break this fortress gate
Sacred to me are the feelings I hold, though none have cared to see
Sometimes I imagine they're only here to torture me
How ridiculous that it all sounds, they might think it seems
They will never douse the flame, they won't undo my dreams

Very nice

love is like water that a thirsty man tries to hold in the hands, but as he clenches to possess, all that he has runs thru his fingers
