Sparks That Stay
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
The fire's gone down to grey ash
Sparks drift up past the iron tongs
But under it all the coal still burns
You hold your heat so easily

[Pre-chorus]
Some loves flare and disappear
But you don't need to shout to feel
So I lean in close and listen

[Chorus]
Ezekiel, you're the coal beneath the ash
Steady when the bright things crash
Nothing about this love needs to kneel
Ezekiel, you make the quiet feel real

[Verse 2]
I've watched you tend the smaller things
The kind that others overlook
You never needed to reveal
Just how much warmth an ember brings

[Bridge]
Let the sparks go where they drift
No need to chase what disappears
What stays low and burns for years
That's the harder, better gift

[Chorus]
Ezekiel, you're the coal beneath the ash
Steady when the bright things crash
Nothing about this love needs to kneel
Ezekiel, you make the quiet feel real

[Outro]
Long after the last spark falls
You're still the warmth I'm banking on
