Das Licht

And so I woke, into the light.
To touch your face, it felt so bright.
But after light comes dark, and after laughter tears.
I ate my cake to swallow my fears.

I saw it dim, I saw it flicker.
I pulled the plug, to make it quicker.
In trying to give, I took it all.
Flew into the light, and now I fall.

I adore the light until it wanes
I got so close I burst into flames
I sought the light at every turn
I held you tight, until it burned.

In trying to give, I took it all.
Flew into the light, and now I fall.

I adore...

I adore the light until it wanes
I got so close I burst into flames
I sought the light at every turn
I held you tight, until it burned.
