Just yesterday I realized
I sing and write in sync with my sighs
I always strum these chords when it gets dark
My songs are to a storm of tears a safe ark
No more happy songs are coming through
I write but can't build a world without you in it
Not since this day I saw you lying down
Before the ship sank and we all drowned

Those brown eyes, this smile, both I got from you
Can't even cry, I can't move
I'm neutralized, tell me this ain't true
'Cause this world ain't doin' it without you
Don't wanna write about their stupid society
Just please, don't leave me here to be
And if you were to go, I'll go
But I'll fence the wind 'round your candle
Rekindling I'll be
Your fading light

She sat on the floor that day
Below a statue to pour her prayers
I do the same now, though it's been a while
My faith I can't find, I don't know where it lies
There's so much you don't know about me, I don't know about you
So much good that you do
This bundle of energy you are is kind of the only hope I've left in humanity

Those brown eyes, this smile, both I got from you
Can't even cry, I can't move
I'm neutralized, tell me this ain't true
'Cause this world ain't doin' it without you
Don't wanna write about their stupid society
Just please, don't leave me here to be
And if you were to go, I'll go
But I'll fence the wind 'round your candle
Rekindling I'll be
Your fading light

And suddenly, all our closed ones show up in unison
Their minds assume the worst song
But I refuse to conceive a reality in which the candle blows and moves on
Won't say goodbye, 'cause you're coming back
It's selfish, I know, but this house would be shipwrecked
A failing heart's a dim fading light
God pump it up or I'll give up my fight

Don't wanna write about their stupid society
Just please, don't leave me here to be
And if you were to go, I'll go
But I'll fence the wind 'round your candle
Rekindling I'll be

I'm not writing you everything like mom said to do
'Cause when you're back my full opus I'll sing
It doesn't make sense to me that to you it's happening
'Cause you're the best form of life I've seen
When they cut and stop your beating jewel
I'll be in the next room bleeding for you
Keeping it close to my chest all through
Till you come hold it back up, and you'll shine
Infective smile
Your fading light
