lyrics

I’m gonna spell it out to you
every feeling that you should’ve known.
I was a candle in your room --
patient burning, yearning in my glow.
But ghastly breath snuffed me out,
I go unseen by you.
But passing thru the mist tomorrow
you will know the fume

Someday I’m gonna spell it out.
Bleach my eyes in a solemn ritual.
Sadness of ruckus from my mouth
like a flame from a scene of crimson hell.
Why sing songs, why suffer on?
Why wake up at all?
When beauty is on the shelf
and just your portrait is on my wall.

Scratch your story in a cave
to be found and loved in a future age
‘cuz no one wants to hear it now.
But don’t yield, no no, don’t shut your mouth.
Why sing songs, why suffer on?
Why wake up at all?
If we can’t stand up here together
prepare to face your fall.
