Wax Candle

Without any warning
Not even a chase
Have a little misfortune
And we're running down the fire escape

Flicker when the wind blows
I'm a time bomb here to stay
Exploding slowly
Melting down to light your way

Light me up
Your wax candle
I won't burn it down again
I'll cut a hole
Into the darkness
And we can walk through hand in hand

I'm living in the moment
But dying in the days
A little bit closer
But a little more and more afraid

Forget me in the morning
Ignore me all day
But never be shortsighted
To think the light will never fade

It's darker now
Inside, inside
It's harder now
To try, to try
It's easier now
To hide, to hide
I'm fading into
Light, to light
