Eyes as Candles Lyrics

My world astir and sickly Spits out our voices, singing Tra la la la, oh, no no To kingdom come so slightly
Here in the void in your place I twitch and tweak in illusion To sit and stare so blankly Until all hope is used up
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting? Where do you go when I'm around? What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating? And have the nerve to wear the crown?
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Some guarded room, smoky figure fills me full Makes my head swell in ruin My family kneels at the pew They nod, "We believe in what you're doing"
I feel it rise above me The western landscapes, towering And from my shell of a body The flowers blossom for picking
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting? Where do you go when I'm around? What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating? And have the nerve to wear the crown?
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
I've waited and waited for someone to take it Don't fight it, don't bother, an inch for another Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive Now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid Thrown up through the darkness, your eyes as my candles And your life, and my life, directions can render
And all of a sudden you left me to handle The reasons that never forbid me to step out And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret To say it aloud without actually breathing
