The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality

Every beat of your heart 
Tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake 
Caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver

The leftover tallow just doesn't contain all the right answers
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom

Every beat of your heart 
Tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake 
Caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver

This black page in history is not colorfast, will stain the next
All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
This black page in history is not colorfast, will stain the next
And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be

Every beat of your heart 
Tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake 
Caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver
I shiver
