Ember
[Intro: Jon Mess]
It kicked my ass, I felt so bad
I look like crap, there's no life-hack
It's pounding through my temples
It feels like every season
My nose is plugged or leaking
Don't ask me out, I'm indoor
We sneeze in Sacramento

[Refrain: Jon Mess]
Achoo, achoo, achoo
The pollen, you so rude
The mucus I produce
Is more than just a nuisance, it's abuse
Achoo, achoo
The pills aren't working, dude
Goggle vision, life in prison
I'm impaired, I can't taste my food

[Verse 1: Tilian]
Keep it all to yourself
Keep it out of my sight
Hold your tongue and hold tight
Just to prevent a fight, yeah
All to yourself
Out of my sight
Accumulate your spite
Though you know it ain't right
[Pre-Chorus: Tilian]
You wanna burn somе money?
Hop on a flight to Panama
We gotta get undеr the sun
You feel the rapture waning?
You know we can't just carry on
Gotta reverse some damage done

[Chorus: Tilian]
Let me back inside
I'll surrender, I'll surrender
We can make this right
Know it won't happen overnight
But if you let me back inside
There's still an ember
Do you remember how to build a fire?
I need to see you burning bright
If you let me back inside

[Verse 2: Jon Mess]
I get above the frustration
And put my head in the clouds
This permanent vacation
Eventually makes you drown
I could have sworn that I fixed myself
'Cause I read a bunch of shit about mental health
But then I took another drink and I said I felt
Like I don't need to think about nothing, or the things that I do
[Refrain: Tilian]
We've tried it the hard way, little to no change
Let's take another chance
We've dwelled on our mistakes, taken our own space
We deserve another chance

[Pre-Chorus: Tilian]
Wanna reanimate you
I wanna see you flying high
Up in the clouds where you belong
You wanna burn some money?
Hop on a flight to Panama
We gotta get under the sun

[Chorus: Tilian]
Let me back inside
I'll surrender, I'll surrender
We can make this right
Know it won't happen overnight
But if you let me back inside
There's still an ember
Do you remember how to build a fire?
I need to see you glowing bright
If you let me back inside

[Outro: Jon Mess & Tilian]
I hope you follow through
(Inside) I hope you follow through
