The Last Time
Embers of Redemption: A Tale of Passion and Regret
Lyrics
This is the last time
This marks the final occurrence.
And I'm stumbling wasted
I am intoxicated and unsteady.
It was never my fault
I deny responsibility.
But I knew I could change it
I believed I could alter the situation.
A long way from home
Far away from my origin.
Clutching to visions
Holding onto aspirations or dreams.
She cuts with her tongue
She hurts with her words.
And I'm lying here bleeding
I'm here, wounded and vulnerable.
A flickering light, she withdraws
A flickering light, she retreats.
And I'm waiting in the fire
I endure, even in the face of adversity.
I'll wait, until I burn or she returns
I'll wait, whether I am consumed by flames or until she comes back.
I can't leave it alone
I cannot abandon this situation.
I got a taste for fire
I acquired a liking for danger.
Burning me whole
Burning me entirely.
Feeling the flames grow higher
Sensing the intensity of the emotional turmoil.
I know that I'm wrong, can't leave on my own
Although I acknowledge my error, I'm unable to depart on my own.
I can't deny her
I cannot reject her.
So lead me along, use me til I'm gone
Guide me through, exploit me until I vanish.
I'll still justify her
I will still rationalize her actions.
Ashes of desire
Remnants of intense longing.
I know not to dial
I am aware not to make contact.
But my fingers have traced it
My fingers involuntarily trace the forbidden.
Her voice is a needle
Her voice is addictive and irreplaceable.
A high can't replace it
An intense pleasure cannot substitute for it.
A crack in the sky, let the rain
A metaphorical crack in the sky, let the rain fall and extinguish this passion.
Please drown this fire
Please put out this emotional turmoil.
This pain, burns til she returns
This pain persists until she comes back.
I can't leave it alone
I cannot let go of this situation.
I got a taste for fire
I developed a craving for risk.
Burning me whole
Consuming me completely.
Feeling the flames grow higher
Sensing the emotional turmoil intensify.
I know that I'm wrong, can't leave on my own
Despite recognizing my mistake, I'm unable to depart alone.
I can't deny her
I cannot reject her.
So lead me along, use me til I'm gone
Guide me through, exploit me until I vanish.
I'll still justify her
I will still rationalize her actions.
Ashes of desire
Remnants of intense longing.
I can't leave it alone
I cannot let go of this situation.
I got a taste for fire
I developed a craving for risk.
Burning me whole
Consuming me completely.
Feeling the flames grow higher
Sensing the emotional turmoil intensify.
I know that I'm wrong, can't leave on my own
Despite recognizing my mistake, I'm unable to depart alone.
I can't deny her
I cannot reject her.
So lead me along, use me til I'm gone
Guide me through, exploit me until I vanish.
I'll still justify her
I will still rationalize her actions.
Ashes of desire
Remnants of intense longing.
