Candledark Lyrics

For a long time now
I've been standing back
To keep my distance from the flame
Started from a spark
Now it burns all those around
But your fire no longer shows the way

So don't count me out
I've not given up, I've moved on
Had enough of this morbid scene
And don't reprimand
I'm not fallen off, I never got on
Or I would have jumped off long ago
I'm nothing like you, just so you know

Once this spectacle
Became too bright for you
You tore out your eyes so you could see
The glass is not half full
Nor is it half empty now
It's twice as big as it needs to be
Tried to quench your thirst
With an endless flood
Now it's too late, 'cos we've all drowned
Tried to plant your roots
Firmly in the soil, and
You buried us alive into the ground

So don't count me in
I'm not playing your mind-fuck games
I've got my own life to worry about
And you'll hear me shout
I am not the one that stands in your way
I've merely come here to say goodbye
The rest is up to you, as they say
