When I look into your eyes
I see a candle
Burning away at your soul
That was once pure
I hardly know you now
You shut yourself away
When I do get a chance
To talk to you
You look straight through me
I still see a candle
Burning away in your eyes
The glimmer of hope has gone
Just tell me what's up
Instead of locking your feelings away
I know what you're going through
So please try and listen
I know a candle
Will incessantly burn
Away your soul
Don't let that cloud your thoughts
What was said to my daughter
She completely ignored
I found here lifeless
On her bedroom floor
A candle in her eyes
Had been extinguished
Yet a candle was still burning
On her bedside table
Burning pure blackness
That was the first time I'd seen...
…The candle of darkness
