Eyes As Candles

My world astir and sickly Spits out our voices singing "Tra la la la" on high now To kingdom come so slightly Herein a void in your place I twitch and tweak in allusion To sit and stare so blankly Until all hope is used up Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting? Where do you go when I'm around? What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating? And have the nerve to wear a crown? Oh na na na na na na Hey hey hey hey In some dark room A smoky figure fills me full Makes my head swell in ruin My family kneels at their pew They nod, "We believe in What you're doing" I feel it rise above me The western landscapes towering And from my shell of a body The flowers blossom for picking I've waited and waited For someone to take it Don't fight it, don't bother An inch for another Don't listen Don't hear them They're in this together I've learned well Now hear me There's much to be fearing I'm used to your absence Your faceless distractions I've painted your patterns But found them attractive Now I've been leaning towards A life far more candid Though lead through the dark With your eyes as my candles Where your life And my life's directions Can wrangle And all of a sudden You've left me to handle The reasons that never Forbid me to stand tall And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret To staying alive Without actually breathing --- Eyes as Candles - Passion Pit
