Flickering Candle

[Verse] Dancing in the shadows Feeling the beat But as the night goes on I'm feeling the heat My energy's slipping away Like sand through my fingers I used to shine so bright Now I'm a flickering candle [Verse 2] Every step I take feels a little bit heavier My body's getting weaker Like a worn-out record The music still plays But I'm running out of time I'm losing all my strength It's a downhill climb [Chorus] Fading light I'm falling into the night Slowly losing grip Can't keep up the fight In this groovy dark house My strength starts to fade But I'll keep dancing till the darkness takes me away [Verse 3] When I awake it feels like I'm restrained Break me away and get me through the day Echoes of past, distant and faint washing away like an ancient paint Fading hues of a vibrant past Thoughts of things I cling to make them last [Chorus] Fading light I'm falling into the night Slowly losing grip Can't keep up the fight In this groovy dark house My strength starts to fade But I'll keep dancing till the darkness takes me away [Verse 4] Dont cry for me I fight against the flame Me slowing down puts everything in play I cant bring up tears I'll put those away Compartmentalize fears and cut through the grey [Chorus] Fading light I'm falling into the night Slowly losing grip Can't keep up the fight In this groovy dark house My strength starts to fade But I'll keep dancing till the darkness takes me away [Breakdown] [Verse 5 instrumental breakdown] [Chorus] Fading light I'm falling into the night Slowly losing grip Can't keep up the fight In this groovy dark house My strength starts to fade But I'll keep dancing till the darkness takes me away [Outro]
