Uncut Pages - Embers Lyrics

You tally the scratches, every last one
You keep a long account
All the evidence, the evidence of living
Death by a thousand paper cuts

And if what is broken can't be mended
What is left of us?
Every piece is broken further
Until it turns to dust

Each acid drop sours the sweetness
A little goes a long way
How much will be needed to dilute
This accumulated poison?

And if what is broken can't be mended
What is left of us?
Every piece is broken further
Until it turns to dust

We could keep each other bright
Pass the glow to one another
As the breath keeps us alive
I will warm you when you grow cold
If you warm me when I'm tired
