Wood Is Cold

Wood Is Cold [Intro] [Verse] The gate is rusted, the wood is cold A thousand stories I’ve been told About the hollows, about the deep Where the secrets of the valley sleep I left the lantern by the stone To face the heavy dark alone My boots are sinking in the clay While the holy voices fade away [Pre chorus] It’s a fever in the marrow, it’s a pull in the bone To find a kingdom that I’ve never known The silver wire is starting to bend I want to see how the world will end [Chorus] Why do we reach for the burning light? Why do we dance on the edge of the night? The flame is a hunger, the ash is a bed I’m chasing the ghost of the words you said It’s a beautiful ruin, a holy mistake How much of the fire can one heart take? [Verse] There is a cathedral made of dust Where every altar smells of rust I’m tracing shadows on the wall Waiting for the floor to fall They say the ceiling’s gonna break But I like the way the pillars shake Better to crumble in the heat Than live a life that’s incomplete [Chorus] Why do we reach for the burning light? Why do we dance on the edge of the night? The flame is a hunger, the ash is a bed I’m chasing the ghost of the words you said It’s a beautiful ruin, a holy mistake How much of the fire can one heart take? [Bridge] The smoke is rising in my chest A heavy weight, a quiet guest I’m not running from the black I’m never, never looking back Let it burn Let it burn [Chorus] Why do we reach for the burning light? Why do we dance on the edge of the night? The flame is a hunger, the ash is a bed I’m chasing the ghost of the words you said It’s a beautiful ruin, a holy mistake How much of the fire can one heart take? [Outro] The fire is cold now Just a beautiful ruin In the dark Tags: #MelancholicPop #DarkVibes #GlixOriginal #MusicStudio #EmotionalVocals Author: Glix Snorx
