Candlelight Lyrics

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
