A candle cracked the oily dark
A star that sparked, sputtered
Burnt right through the heart
Explode the flame, start it again
And wipe the blaze blood from walls that know its name
A candle cracks the oily dark
The tally scores another half-hearted restart
Imbibe the flame
And try to tame
The growing holes from infernos that still remain
'Cause I
Can't break your frame
I've broken planets
Split the dust
But I can't rid your name
So I won't stay
I won't run with a hollow light
No broken flame
The candle cracks
It breaks in half
The steady love that flew with parachutes of glass
So shoot it down
Applaud the fall
This redone flame is not wanted, no, not at all
'Cause I
Can't break your frame
I've broken planets
Split the dust
But I can't rid your name
So I won't stay
I won't run with a hollow light
No broken flame
Cause when it gets dark inside
No fires bring safe light
Just burns to remark the pain
Serrated skin from starting again
(Again!)
'Cause I
Can't break your frame
I've broken planets
Split the dust
But I can't rid your name
So I won't stay
I won't run with a hollow light
No broken flame
