Afterglow

Where you end and I begin there's no light A parasite who lives within a hingeless door Far below the surface there, breathe a heavy sigh Stand alone in a circle squared, preparing to try Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow Blowing over You never know the shapes are thin, drawn in shadow lines Dust and foam the state I'm in, a sense of pride Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow Blowing over Trying hard to bleed slower Hear you're sinking low, get lower Trying hard to bleed slower Zeroes in my hand, and it's time Reach into the sand, come fill me again Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow Blowing over Undertow, ash and cinders light the afterglow Sucking under Trying hard to bleed slower Hear you're sinking low, get lower Trying hard to bleed slower
