dim the lights

and let the candles live

you and i

and nothing more to give



i've been stagnant

dwelling all alone

covering the cornerstone



send me to the end

i won't look back again

turn myself to salt among the sand

send me to the end

with open arms and nails in hand

even if they never understand

send me to the end



swallow pride

and push myself aside

break the tide

pray it does it's worst



i've been complacent

satisfied with pavement

founded with no room to grow



dim the lights

and let the fire burn my eyes

'til i see a face the darker world denies
