Candlelight

I rise from my grave, brush the dirt from my eyes My heart hasn't beat since the sun fell from the sky My stitches pull tight, I fall apart at the seams You rest in peace, the rest of us dream I haunt the halls of our tattered old home Unwelcome guest, nowhere else to go You went softly into that good night Your ghost moved on, but mine still abides I could only see by your candlelight, trapped in the darkness, broken and blind I could only breathe with you by my side Now all that remains is the bitter pain that you left behind You left me to drown in the pale moonlight Beneath the waves, even death may die Hope is a flickering thing perched on my soul It calls out your name then drags me below I could only see by your candlelight, trapped in the darkness, broken and blind I could only breathe with you by my side Now all that remains is the bitter pain that you left behind We were not made for sunlit hearts We made our home in the strange and dark We haunted each other, if we just closed our eyes For the beat of a heart we were almost alive I could only see by your candlelight, trapped in the darkness, broken and blind I could only breathe with you by my side Now all that remains is the bitter pain that you left behind
