Candle In the Storm

I climbed a mountain made of glass
Every step felt like a pain in the ass
But the ground beneath me turned to dust
Like a dream I couldn't fucking trust

I built a castle in the air
But it vanished like smoke in despair
I reached out to catch the stars
But they slipped like sand through goddamn jars

I'm a ship without a sail, drifting like a fucked-up tale
In an ocean of failure, where the waves talk shit and bail
I'm a candle in the storm, flickering just to stay alive
Every time I try to shine, failure's there to fucking thrive

I planted hope in barren ground
Like trying to hear when there's no fucking sound
But the seeds never took
Just like a story without a goddamn book

I carved my name in the wind
But it faded like a ghostly sin
The words dissolved in the air
Like promises that weren't fucking there

I'm a ship without a sail, drifting like a fucked-up tale
In an ocean of failure, where the waves talk shit and bail
I'm a candle in the storm, flickering just to stay alive
Every time I try to shine, failure's there to fucking thrive

But maybe it's in the fall
Like a tree shedding all
That I'll learn to stand tall
Finding rhythm in the call

I'm a ship without a sail, drifting like a fucked-up tale
In an ocean of failure, where the waves talk shit and bail
I'm a candle in the storm, flickering just to stay alive
Every time I try to shine, failure's there to fucking thrive

The fucking fog can thrive

But maybe it's in the fall
Like a tree shedding all
That I'll learn to stand tall
Finding rhythm in the call

I'm a candle in the storm, flickering just to stay alive
Every time I try to shine, failure's there to fucking thrive
