Candle Light

You should see the way they used to love me
A pathetic promise of mediocrity
I swear someone somewhere will save me
But I'm sick from what they think they will teach me

I used to find safe havens at night
My shaking pencil in the moonlight
Cracking whispers to the sky of how no one lives if no one lies
Stars burn to shine that bright
Goodbye again familiar eyes

I pass through time terrified
I beg the rain to hit me like lightning
And shake at night even though you're gone
You knew every word to some of my songs

I'm flustered if he thinks that I
Might be someone to pray for and hold in the light
I love that passion is the way that we scream
But I want his eyes on me while I bleed
But I know star eyes are never eyes of mine

I want to rip my dreams from my skin
I want to fall like rocks to the places I've been
I thank god the horizon the stars and the sun
But fuck you for every fucking thing that you've done

But I'll hold onto him while he runs like sand
I've saved all the burns from his hand
But isn't it something that night after night
Piece after piece and try as they might
Isn't it something that still here am I
In the darkness they made burning stars in the sky

Isn't it something that still here am I still out of their reach
Still stars in my eyes
And the moon shines on me
I'm finally free

Where the stars will never
Could never
Reach my candle light

Goodbye again
Familiar eyes
