Flickering, Dancing Spirit

Flickering flames creates dancing spirits 
The light of dawn is a world away  
Your voice is all but a memory  
Deception, empty words thrown on a page  
Pieces of you have lost their way  

I close my eyes, hold back my listless head, try to stay awake  
I promised that I'd meet you here, except you lost your way 

You're fading, far away from my light 
No matter how I shut my eyes   
To your dancing flame, I grow weak again  
My fallen friend  
Pure heaven was your hand to hold 
But I'm starting to realize   
The need to turn away, break the chains again
My fallen friend

The dark bows to you on your quest of absolution  
The answer is lost, times have changed  
This friendship is now lifeless  
A memory, pipe-dream, and cannot be saved
Left with parts of you, you've thrown away.  

I close my eyes, hold back my listless head, try to stay awake  
I promised that I'd meet you here, except you lost your way
