Life Before The Embers by The Broken Kings Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There are times that I remember, through the haze
A life before the embers burned away
And eyes were bold and brazen
And the wind through the walls called my name
And my friends the same
Hand in hand, we were made
And the hope we were sold was yet to fray
But which time ate away
But those friends aren't here today

[Chorus]
Years wasted buried in my shame
These achings that take me from the ways
I could maybe make it right
Years wasted buried in my shame
These achings that take me from the ways
I could finally make it right

[Verse 2]
In the eyes of those on who see me, there’s concern
A moment there it lingers, but no words
Of sadness quelling kindness
Just like me they're afraid to admit
That they care enough
To put themselves on the line
Like a breath on the lips of the dead
The words are never spoken
And we bid awkward goodbyes
[Chorus]
Years wasted buried in my shame
These achings that take me from the ways
I could maybe make it right
Years wasted buried in my shame
These achings that take me from the ways
I could finally make it right (oh, oh)

[Bridge]
Eye asking, thoughts hidden
Deep buried, soul ocean
Blue dark as death
Swallows my head

Days dying, sky dusking
Wind biting, time reminding
How much is spent, (how much is spent)
How little you've got left

[Instrumental]

(Maybe one more..)

[Pre-Chorus]
Years wasted buried in my shame
These achings that take me from the ways
I could maybe make it right
Years wasted buried in my shame
These achings that take me from the ways
I could finally make it right
[Chorus]
Years wasted buried in my shame
These achings that take me from the ways
I could maybe make it right
Years wasted buried in my shame
These achings that take me from the ways
I could finally make it right
