You light the candle at both ends
Eventually it will burn you
The rapidly dripping wax will scorch your hand
But you keep holding on
Because someone told you
You have to, you have to, we all have to
We all have to keep holding on to our candlesticks
To guide us through this endless night
Down the winding path in the distance
Where maybe someday there might be another light
To take us to our destination
And you can finally let go—
But will it be before you are set aflame?
