Sometimes I feel like a flame, struggling to stay lit.

Lyrics:

I kept vigil by the door
Counted cracks across the floor
Every shadow knew my name
Every silence fed the flame
Every hour pressed its teeth
Through the boards beneath my feet
I smiled soft and held it in
While the dark came crawling in

I was quiet
I was near
Turning panic into air
When the rafters groaned and the night pressed thin
I burned low just to breathe again

Am I fading
Fading
Fading slow
Where the daylight never goes?
Hold on
That’s all I pray
Let me make it through today
Fading
Fading
Still I glow
Barely gold but holding on
Hold on
Don’t look down
I’ll be the spark that won’t go out

I woke cold in morning blue
Still pretending I pulled through
Never let my fingers shake
Feeding fire to the ache
I swallowed smoke and called it grace
Kept the ruin off my face
Every spark I tried to save
Flickered less by break of day

I was quiet
I was near
Making lullabies from fear
When the floorboards cried and the cold pushed in
I burned low just to breathe again

Am I fading
Fading
Fading slow
Where the daylight never goes?
Hold on
That’s all I pray
Let me make it through today
Fading
Fading
Still I glow
Barely gold but holding on
Hold on
Don’t look down
I’ll be the spark that won’t go out

One day the wick may bend
One day the glass may blacken
I’ll find the smoke I hid
In every quiet fraction

But until the last flame shakes
Until my breath turns blue
I will keep this candle lit
Long enough to make it through

Am I fading
Fading
Almost gone
Still I burn against the dawn
Hold on
Remember me
As the fire underneath
Fading
Fading
Soft and thin
Let the morning pull me in
Hold on
Don’t ask how
I’m still the spark that won’t go out

Hold on
Flame under pressure
Hold on
I won’t let go
