Candle
Burn out
Fade to the black now
I see you hiding behind the pillar
Don't run from me
Come a little closer
You love this cat and mouse game
Don't go away
I just wanna be friends
I wanna burn my hand upon your skin
Like you do to my mind all the damn time
My chest, neck, stomach, and throat
Your invisible grasp clings to my soul
Rips out my truth
Has people doubting my reasons
Proof is what I need to show them
But what is there to show
When you like to hide whenever there's a crowd
Only coming about when you wanna sink me down
In the cracks of the floor just so more people can step on my already broken bones
The flame in your eyes has transferred to mine
I'm not gonna be that naive girl
The one you can keep stepping over like a shard of glass in the road
Don't lose sleep over me
I've already lost my mind to far out of sight
Openly bleed
Tie up my body so I can't leave my haven
I lay all day trying to find the strength to keep moving
Your traces of steps invite me to play in the dark, depths of your wretched behavior
Let me free
I can't handle the badger continuously
Fade to the black now
Burn out
Candle
