Candle

(album: The Rose Avail - 2019)

One little boy
Kept at arm's length
But you can say a prayer for
This one little tear
Might make a mess of your faith
Or your makeup
One Little symphony
It plays the part of me
It's the part that I don't care about
You're right
Tell me how you know
Do you raise your fist to bring the sorrow
This is where your fate learns a lesson

I love the scandal
'Cause I like the way it seals your fate
If it goes dark, I'll hold the candle
'Cause I like the way it lights your face

You're living on the side of sin that says "I don't need to know you"
God willing my world will never be yours, never be yours

One little sinner
We can forget 'cause
We can't save 'em all, right?
Your light is getting kinda low
Your head and heart equally hollow
This is where we all see your real face

I love the scandal
'Cause I like the way it seals your fate
If it goes dark, I'll hold the candle
'Cause I like the way it lights your face

You're living on the side of sin that says "I don't need to know you"
God willing my world will never be yours, never be yours

And this might be
The day that you meet your maker
Are you ready?
'Cause this might be
The day that you meet your maker
Are you ready?
'Cause these closed eyes
Might make you feel remarkable
While these lost souls
Might just be replaceable
The name you serve
Might not even know yours
Come face-to-face
The last disgrace
Your awful taste
You'll get spit out, are you ready

'Cause you're living on the side of sin that says "I don't need to know you"
God willing my world will never be yours, never be yours
You're living on the side of sin that says "I don't need to know you"
God willing my world will never be yours, never be yours

If it goes dark, I'll hold the candle
'Cause I like the way it seals your fate
When it goes dark you better hold that candle
Might be the only way you shine your light for the world
