The Candles You Lit Lyrics by True North

The Sky, the Lie, and Who We Are Before We Die

2016

Hold on, things are getting clearer
Your eyes seem darker
So much more sincere
I'm reaching around in the dark
Trying to put this together
But I don't know where to start
I can see their hands are holding
Slowly bonding and removing me
From every corner of your mind
December has never been so deceiving
Remember the nights before I was leaving
Even when wine stained our teeth
I felt my heart skip a beat
She said, "I have to confess, it's best if you stay out west."
Please don't say I have to go
Things are harder on my own
Well I'm falling to pieces on your back porch
Things my heart could never sort
Like feeling angry at myself
For al the things I could help
My hands are shaking
My mind is racing
This fucking silence, so frustrating
I hate the distance that ripped apart
The goals we had right from the start
Sitting with you now
Ending it somehow
December has never been so deceiving
Remember the nights before I was leaving
Even when wine stained our teeth
I felt my heart skip a beat
She said, "I have to confess, it's best if you stay out west"
Sitting with you now, ending it somehow
Sitting with you now, ending it all
With every sip that I take
The candles you lit just to keep the light in
Flicker darker and darker, a deep cherry red
A stain creeping further and further into my head
