you burned your finger
while you're in a rush
to light up the candle
to save you from darkness
the same way I burned my finger
when I tried to revive the light
in the last candle I have
to save me from nothingness
a matchbox, a candle, and a struggle —
welcome to the burnt fingers club,
were you trying, to find meaning
in the dark too?

when I tried to revive the light
in the last candle I have
to save me from nothingness
a matchbox, a candle, and a struggle —
welcome to the burnt fingers club,
were you trying, to find meaning
