One breath, a single ember spark

Verse 1

Cinder glowing by the iron gate

Two steps moving where the shadows wait

Your palm resting on my collarbone

Vibration humming in the paving stone

No need to tell me what to do

The log drum pulls me into you

Pre-Chorus

Feel it in the knees

Feel it in the chest

Drifting with the breeze

Nothing to confess

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

One breath, a single ember spark

Low drum talking to the skin

This is where the quiet begins

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Verse 2

Ashes floating through the heavy air

Loose thread tangled in your braided hair

Heels soft tapping on the open floor

Latch clicked shut against the alley door

Warm pulse beating at the temple vein

Drying off the residue of rain

Pre-Chorus

Feel it in the knees

Feel it in the chest

Drifting with the breeze

Nothing to confess

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

One breath, a single ember spark

Low drum talking to the skin

This is where the quiet begins

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Bridge

No morning waiting in our eyes

No words between the earth and skies

Just weight and rhythm, slow and deep

A promise that the body keeps

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

One breath, a single ember spark

Low drum talking to the skin

This is where the quiet begins

Smoke signals rising in the dark
