I lit a candle today Thought about how the fire is enclosed and has to stay How the days must be long Having to stay small, not being able to grow strong It must loathe me It longs to be free It's holding in all its emotion, it's turning blue Then I blew It screamed no, but the deed was done Or was it? They both finally get to grin They leave nothing but destruction But yet we still light the candle like it is our everyday instruction Me and my family are gone The ambulance arrives at the crack of dawn As the firemen puts out the last sliver of fire The candle knows it will be back, and it knows many will admire Many will smell its aroma, and think it sweet It doesn't want to please you, it wants to beat The fire is its right hand man The fire is its number one fan
