I'm a candle
Set me ablaze
It's quiet
I know you'll cave
A drop of water
Plummeting to its death
Shadows scream and chant
Draw your last breath
Step after step
It's not getting closer
One moment I'm here
Sometimes I'm not so sure
I've lost track of time
There was a scream
The voice of an angel
Tearing at the seams
A vision of light
Begs me to decay
It takes two to tango
Only one can be saved
Eyes of fury, the first woman
Wrapped in skin, draped with rage
She choked on words, fell to a crawl
Held me close, told me it's my fault
Towers built of sin fall to pieces
I'm chasing after my lungs
Build me up and watch me die
I'm the butcher of goodbyes
Aspect of chaos stuck in glass
Scented of generations past
I had legs, knew where to stand
Before me was the folly of man
Time after time
He follows his dream
As above, so below
It's not what it seems

I'm a candle
Set me ablaze
It's quiet
I know you'll cave
A drop of water
Plummeting to its death
Shadows scream and chant
Draw your last breath
Step after step
It's not getting closer
One moment I'm here
Sometimes I'm not so sure
I've lost track of time
There was a scream
The voice of an angel
Tearing at the seams
A vision of light
Begs me to decay
It takes two to tango
Only one can be saved
Eyes of fury, the first woman
Wrapped in skin, draped with rage
She choked on words, fell to a crawl
Held me close, told me it's my fault
Towers built of sin fall to pieces
I'm chasing after my lungs
Build me up and watch me die
I'm the butcher of goodbyes
Aspect of chaos stuck in glass
Scented of generations past
I had legs, knew where to stand
Before me was the folly of man
Time after time
He follows his dream
As above, so below
It's not what it seems
