Candle Wax Lyrics

She stares at the reflection in the mirror

Afraid of the beauty staring back

The shadows are becoming familiar

Fantasy is blurred with reality

She has forgotten who she used to be

She holds the diary close to her heart

Tears fall again as sorrow paints her art

She clings to a man hoping to relieve

The pain she knows she will still receive

She holds the crystal ball in her hand

Her back against the wall

But it tells her nothing all

She melts like candle wax

Consequences of her acts

She slowly melts away

With each passing day

Once again she lights the candle

She searches for the light

By running toward the darkness

She tries so hard to ignore

The hopelessness drugs will never cure

Running so far further from regret

But that bottle won't make her forget

She embraces what she does not know

She is a star in the devil's show

She falls to her knees

She looks to the sky

She feels his spirit

She hears that voice

She once heard long ago

My child, come back to me

It's time to put out the candle

It's time to put out the candle one last time
