Ember

In between each decision 

Do your thoughts bend and sway? 

Over-analyzed everything 

Now it's all turned to gray

Or do you always feel 

Totally unambiguous and right?

Told you every variable 

How they fade from your sight 

In between every ending 

New beginnings prance about 

Knowing this helps nothing 

I'll still cling to every doubt 

Can't it all just be better?

Acknowledging that's a lot to ask 

Never stopped me from trying 

Destined to break or finish every task 

Our days are numbered, our skin is frail 

Time seeps on and on

Holding tight, here and now

Is it worth it once it's gone?

Slow and venomous, they pile up

All the little disappointing things 

Now they inhabit all of it 

Yanking all our strings 

Moving between each decision

Or figuring out how long we can delay 

Risking the inevitable 

Ember shall burn through it all someday
