gray

[electronicaa]

a hint of weakness blows through every pore
I catch myself crawling backwards on the floor
I struggle to stand upon my feet as I was before you showed

my candle for you now burns a gentle glow
exposure enough for me to see
this wick can't burn for all eternity

and i believe yours for me smothered long ago
dampening desires you would never show
desaturating illuminations of the light i wanted to know

when strength blows through and puts me out
with nothing left to burn and ashes freed from doubt
remains of your light removed from my heart
to live in my memory until forever falls apart

my candle for you now burns a gentle glow
exposure enough for me to see
this wick can't burn for all eternity

and i believe yours for me smothered long ago
dampening desires you would never show
desaturating illuminations of the light i wanted to know
