Candlelight ft. Anne Dorko Lyrics

I don't need the sun to come outshine the rain

It eventually sets and brings the darkness again

It attempts to burn the shadows that melt on my skin

So bright that it won't notice I'm not trying to win

This isn't some battle, I've already fought

It's left me with scars that I never forgot

I'm broken and bent, all my energy spent

And I just want to find time to sleep

There is comfort in the candlelight

That silent spark in the night

It lets the darkness play with delight

Rather than running away

There is softness in the sparks you shine

I hope that they will stay mine

In the time that we have left,

Though I don't know how long it is yet

I won't be alone

I don't need the moon to scare the dark away

I love the way she casts the shadows on my face

Gentle in the twilight I'm just trying to be

In the moment become whole with what is left of me

I've been spending nights burning it all at both ends

I cannot sustain, I can no longer pretend

The light I can provide needs somewhere quiet to hide

While I find somewhere safe I can sleep

There is comfort in the firelight

That strength to last through the night

It lets the darkness play with the light

And I'm not running away

There is power in the sparks you shine

I hope that they will stay mine

In the time that we have left

Though I don't know how long it is yet

I won't be alone
