Candlelight

Dousing out this flame that's burned for you
I can not believe it but life is much more simple now
You left and I was lonely but now I'm moving on
The tears I've shed for you are gone
And you're not around to drag me down
I'm rising through the wreckage
I'm pulling through the storm

Lighting every candle that I see
Maybe this is love, maybe this is not for me
Setting my whole world ablaze
Just for comfort in another pretty face
Torching the mental monsters that I've made
They scream at me for mercy while with the memories they fade

Flooding out the sacred places only we knew
I don't even care, I welcome in the water
Bleeding from the veins now red from blue
I don't even care, I welcome in the slaughter
Taking everything right from my hands
How could such a lovely sickness make me feel so bad

The dryad's screaming from the treetops
Everytime you speak my heart stops
I don't even care that you're not here
A voice is calling from the rooftops
A life once known but now forgotten
Will someone tell me why we tie these knots

Lighting every candle that I see
Maybe this is love, maybe this is not for me
Setting my whole world ablaze
Just for comfort in another pretty face
Torching the mental monsters that I've made
They scream at me for mercy while with the memories they fade away

They fade away
They fade away
They fade away
They fade away

The comfort that I look for in another pretty face
The candlelight flickers slowly then it fades away
