Desire

Chorus

Amber and oak

Let the water take the fire

Amber and oak

Drown the things that I desire

I’ll stay right here

Just me and the ghost of the smoke

Waiting for the silence to talk

Surrounded by amber and oak

Verse 1

Wood grain beneath my tired palms

Heavy glass rings leave stains on the ledge

Low lamp casting long orange shapes

Forty years of failures line the shelf

Pre-Chorus

Pour another round

Keep the shadows down

Hold my breath inside this cloud

Chorus

Amber and oak

Let the water take the fire

Amber and oak

Drown the things that I desire

I’ll stay right here

Just me and the ghost of the smoke

Waiting for the silence to talk

Surrounded by amber and oak

Post-Chorus

Sinking slow

Let it flow

Way down low

Verse 2

Ice cubes rattling against the side

Ticking clock counts the mistakes I made

Small sips of a bitter copper dream

Counting every crack along the floor

Pre-Chorus

Pour another round

Keep the shadows down

Hold my breath inside this cloud

Chorus

Amber and oak

Let the water take the fire

Amber and oak

Drown the things that I desire

I’ll stay right here

Just me and the ghost of the smoke

Waiting for the silence to talk

Surrounded by amber and oak

Bridge

Maybe I should go

Maybe I should run

Maybe I should hide

Let me stay

Let me sit

Let me fade

Chorus

Amber and oak

Let the water take the fire

Amber and oak

Drown the things that I desire

I’ll stay right here

Just me and the ghost of the smoke

Waiting for the silence to talk

Surrounded by amber and oak
