Heart Burn 1 (Breathless)

Vox Sarenrae
Aspirate (2025)

Amidst the deepest hush
Amidst the deepest hush of night
This hope that burns alive
This hope that burns me right alive
On fire

A breathless chase of stars unseen
Gasping... huffing and puffing

Searching for things that might
Searching for things that might never be
Hoping... hoping and praying

This flame that grows in me
This flame that grows ... no I can't fight
Smoldering burn of life
Burning inferno fueling drive
Don't breathe

A breathless chase of stars unseen
Choking... struggling and reaching

The soul that dreams too high, will try
Clutching a fervent plea
Designing, divining me
Leaving a silent key

These cinders quenched by spite
These cinders quenched by prideful spite
In shadows cast by night
Within the darkest time of life
Snuffed out

A breathless chase of stars unseen
Longing... doubting... deceiving

Seeking what brings me peace
Seeking those things that give this life hope
Meaning... purpose desiring

This ember burns in me
This ember that glows ... I won't fight
This blaze engulf my heart
This heart ablaze will help me thrive
Breathe deep

A breathless chase of stars unseen
Striving... fighting ... inspiring

The soul that dreams too high, will try
Clutching a fervent plea
Designing, divining me
Leaving a silent key
