something doesnt feel right
i can taste it in the air
these numbers dont add up
and no one seams to care

that ive fallen into slumber
and ill never wake again
encased here with closed eyes
sewn together with my sin

a single red wax candle
in my entire source of light
sitting on the mantle
it leads me blind of sight

and the pistol on the nightstand
is right within my reach
this crimson war takes lives
and im just a casualty

ive fallen vitom to this conflict
and i wish i never was
im finished with the bloodshed
its over with and done

the candle is growing low
the flame flickers as it dies
and i feel like a failer
because that candle was my life

Wow. Bryan you are a genius. Your use of metaphor is unparalleled.

You know you can talk to me if you need to right?
