lyrics

The ember's fading fast, I know it's hard
When the lumps of melted wax have left you scarred
Soggy matches never make a spark
But when the balance is thrown off, do your part
Almost nothing, we give a sorry glow
Beneath the wreckage, please make sure you know
That time is passing, next to nothing left
Please make these last few moments your very best

And get the spark up in the sky and know this blaze should never die
Throw the remorse in a wishing well, and damn this dimness straight to hell
Don't be ruffled by the air, you know that isn't right
You should've been charmed enough to just be there in my broken candlelight

No wick left to burn, and I'm not ashamed
Was once a forest fire left untamed
The warmth has been forgotten of where we began
Because, you know, I'm tired of singeing my hands
My soul was with the ice and the rain and the snow
But I'm afraid of fire, and now you know
I find it hard to breathe with all this smoke inside my chest
And I find the air is sweeter when these flames are suppressed

Sometimes it's just impossible for me to ignite

But I saw a spark up in the sky and I wish that it had never died
I know you could see me when I was bright but I can't glow til I'm alright
I'm not ruffled by the air, 'cause now I've learned to fight
You should've been charmed enough to just be there in my broken candlelight
