look across,
the sky,
to the beautiful part of life,
light a candle,
with the flame flickering,
so bright,
come inside,
the black soot of regret,
and step back out of the river,
because it's not what you want.
the sky,

the black soot of regret,
and step back out of the river,
because it's not what you want.
pick apart the rainbow mosaic
made of all the half-truths, lies and scandals
that we've all ever told
soothe yourself, revel in the knowledge
of all i've ever done wrong
light a candle in remembrance
of all that i've ever lost
watch the soot as it falls from
our tortured souls to be
forgotten.
