when you light a candle
you think the flame is watching you
make sure you keep following your own little rules for safety
but you could just as easily be
the wax that melts down gradually
you can twist meaning into anything by your laws of self containment
if you start to gain too much ground
you can always fall down
you can always rebound
those sick little friends of yours
will never stop taking you back
when you were a coke-head
you thought the world was inhaling you
those circles just kept running you around
till the lucky streak struck though
the clarity was so confusing
you had to drink that trouble maker back
back to the old same lame crusade to prove
that the powerless aren't afraid of death
when you start to gain too much ground
you can always fall down
you can always rebound
those sick little friends of yours
will never stop wanting you back
you just want to wither
cuz you know you'll last forever
if you're just a memory
