sway of the break

i've watched the lamplights fade

a flare trembles and quivers that kept me safe

warm concrete streets

i used to call home

laid in brick and broken stone so a merchant i'll stay

staying caught in the sway of the break

set aflame

set aflame

set aflame

oh the sand covers me

grains the colors of ash

they follow me here

i'll never leave

anchors of memories

melting iron made of hours forged through eras

hanging fire trapped in glass bulbs

bludgeon toxic burdens and unearth my roots

flip me over and set me free

i've watched the lamplights fade

a flare trembles and quivers that kept me safe

warm concrete streets

i used to call home

laid in brick and broken stone so a merchant i'll stay

staying caught in the sway of the break

set aflame

set aflame

set aflame

the sunlight fades and we still feel safe

settled like worn beacons fought in the flow

lift the tide

and let the stoic moon still guide me

charmed by glow we follow and forget to even ask why we're here

become the practice by accident

we become the practice by accident

as time flows by it phases our lights

castaway

castaway

swept away not forgotten

so we will set aflame caught in the break

all will be set aflame

all set aflame
