Candlelight - Instrumental Version

I don't need the sun to come outshine the rain
It eventually sets and brings the darkness again
It attempts to burn the shadows that melt on my skin
So bright that it won't notice I'm not trying to win

This isn't some battle, I've already fought
It's left me with scars that I never forgot
I'm broken and bent, all my energy spent
And I just want to find time to sleep

There is comfort in the candlelight
That silent spark in the night
It lets the darkness play with delight
Rather than running away
There is softness in the sparks you shine
I hope that they will stay mine
In the time that we have left,
Though I don't know how long it is yet
I won't be alone

I don't need the moon to scare the dark away
I love the way she casts the shadows on my face
Gentle in the twilight I'm just trying to be
In the moment become whole with what is left of me

I've been spending nights burning it all at both ends
I cannot sustain, I can no longer pretend
The light I can provide needs somewhere quiet to hide
While I find somewhere safe I can sleep

There is comfort in the firelight
That strength to last through the night
It lets the darkness play with the light
And I'm not running away

There is power in the sparks you shine
I hope that they will stay mine
In the time that we have left
Though I don't know how long it is yet
I won't be alone
