Katherine McNamara - Ember (Lyrics | Shadowhunters)

I wrote “Ember” just after shooting season one of Shadowhunters. It was partially inspired by the characters in the story but mostly inspired by events that happened in my life. We all have moments where we doubt and we question who we are and what we think we’re supposed to be because something or someone or some event has caused us to second guess. - Katherine McNamara

Full Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
All this time you thought you had me down
Sure you had snuffed me out
Undermined, you made me come undone
I was your smoking gun

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd hold me (you'd hold me)
Control me (control me)
You stole me (you stole me)
Your plan almost broke me
Ashes remind me
Just who am I

[Chorus]
I am ember
'Bout to start a wildfire (wildfire, wildfire)
I am ember
Burning down your empire
Glowing brighter than the darkness inside of you
Can't escape the flame no matter what you do
I am ember
'Bout to start a wildfire (wildfire, wildfire)

[Verse 2]
Lost the fight
You're not the chosen one
But you'll miss me when I'm gone
Reignite
You lost your grip on me
And now I blaze wild and free

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd hold me (you'd hold me)
Control me (control me)
You stole me (you stole me)
Your plan almost broke me
Ashes remind me
Just who am I

[Chorus]
I am ember
'Bout to start a wildfire (wildfire, wildfire)
I am ember
Burning down your empire
Glowing brighter than the darkness inside of you
Can't escape the flame no matter what you do
I am ember
'Bout to start a wildfire (wildfire, wildfire)

[Interlude]
Ashes remind me

[Chorus]
I am ember
'Bout to start a wildfire (wildfire, wildfire)
I am ember
Burning down your empire
Glowing brighter than the darkness inside of you
Can't escape the flame no matter what you do
I am ember
'Bout to start a wildfire (wildfire, wildfire)

[Outro]
I am ember
'Bout to start a wildfire (wildfire, wildfire)
I am ember
