Laughing eyes with tears restraint
naked canvas craving paint
the river drowns the one who cannot swim
emotions under lock and key
bursting, dying to be free
trapped inside the soul of someone else

and I burn the candle in the falling rain
I won’t survive

memories are ripped and torn
love conceived but never born
choking on the words that won’t come out
endless road of wasted youth
teenage fate conceals the truth
heaven wasn’t close enough for you

and I burn the candle in the falling rain
I won’t survive
I burn the candle in the falling rain
I won’t survive

can’t you see me falling
right over the edge
into the bottomless pit

can’t you see me falling
right over the edge
into the bottomless pit

I burn the candle in the falling rain
I won’t survive
I burn the candle in the falling rain
I won’t survive
oh, I burn the candle
in the falling rain
yeah, I burn the candle
in the fallinbg rain
