Embers

[Hook] Imagine the burning embers They glow below and above Your sins you won’t remember And all you’ll find there is love [Verse 1: Natti] I’m cloaked in smoke but feel no flames Folks float around me but I see no wings No halos or hounds, pitchforks or gates Or omnipotent voice that picks course or fate To the life of indecision build a dreamscape prison Where light isn’t manufactured but captured inside a prism In a state between asleep and awake Feels closest to hypnosis where the infinite wait Then the fog dissipates revealing crimson fields Crept on by a fawn with flaming heels Eyes red as stop signs and a mane of quills As it gaze past hills of diamond trees I see a silhouette rest upon golden knees For the body of a goddess and a face of dreams A half-naked Meagan Good in a pagan hood Kiss me on the cheek, we didn’t speak but I understood It wasn’t Heaven that I was seeking but a haven I sought A canvas of the mind painted with my thoughts [Hook] [Verse 2: Kno] Everything ain’t what it seems I wake up to find I’m inside of a dream inside of a dream See buried deep beside the seams of my screams Of beings and otherworldly things rarely seen Might be psychosis or maybe I chose this The night approaches every time the eye closes I see a burning bush, feel like I’m Moses Burn so much kush I feel like amosis All my images are morgues and wounds And every fork in the road moves through Freud and Jung In the darkness no orchard blooms A state so dark, sparks from the torch is consumed It’s like I live in a fortress of doom In the forest where the blood pores were forced from my wounds My body aches from this lobotomy, a part of me shakes Open my eyes, I’m awake, awake [Outro] Ashes are burning brightly The smoke can be seen from afar So now you’re seeing how far Ashes are burning the way
