Light Another

(album: Everything I Can't Say Out Loud - 2018)

Light another candle and I'll hold it up
To the years gone by see it from keeping up
To the man in the mirror staring back at me
I'm hoping I can prove I'm still who I wanna be oh oh oh

Every February puts a spell on me
There's a weight that takes me down and brings me to my knees
But I can't outrun the clock and I can't ever catch up
I'm trying to understand but it's never enough oh oh oh

I feel my pulse and now it's racing
The voice inside me keeps me from saying
Oh why don't you

No one wants to say it but you know it's true
We just keep it under curtains so they won't see through
To the script that I've been reading and the dirt on my face
Just keeping up appearances half past at bed oh oh oh

I feel my pulse and now it's racing
The voice inside me keeps on saying
Oh well why don't you

Save yourself
Save yourself
You know I'll try to
Save yourself
Save yourself
You know I'll try to
Save yourself
Save yourself
You know I'll try to
Save yourself
Save yourself
You know I'll try to

No one wants to be alone
I've been fighting these fears all on my own
For as long as I know
As long as I can remember
And for a moment I might get some peace
But it drags me down again and haunts me in my sleep
I know what I need
Just trying to get free but
I'm still falling
The voices calling

Save yourself
Save yourself
You know I'll try to
Save yourself
Save yourself
You know I'll try to
Save yourself
Save yourself
You know I'll try to
Save yourself
Save yourself
You know I'll try to
You know I'll try

Light another candle and I hold it up
To the years gone by see it from keeping up now
