[Verse 1]
Behind closed doors where daylight dies
A discordant hymn serenades my sighs
Through muffled moans and fractured screams
I hear the distant pleas of shattered dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Cage me, cage me, cage me—I won’t resist this time
Lock it, lock it, lock it—I’ll keep my silence in line
Kill it, kill it, kill the light—let me sink into eternal night

[Chorus]
Don’t hand me your candle; I’ve long since burned the wick
(What does warmth feel like?)
The neon colors fade—I’ve forgotten their flick
(Is loyalty just a trick?)
Each day I breathe, I’m dying again
A prisoner bound to your hollow reign
Even when I’m free, the weight won’t leave
Of love that strangles and hate that weaves

[Verse 2]
The light pierces through, blinding my eyes
As I step into air that cuts and bites
Watching a world that never sees me
While your boots carve permanence into my seams

[Breakdowns]
Shattered mirrors, fractured screams
A flickering screen with bodies unclean
Like you, I thought I’d break from fear
But now I wear numbness as my veneer
Drag me back, drown me deep, fracture my will
The only terror left is the hope I kill
Please...
Take me home

[Chorus]
Don’t hand me your candle; I’ve long since burned the wick
(Is this entrapment of the past?)
The neon colors fade—I’ve forgotten their flick
(Does loyalty ever last?)
Each day I breathe, I’m dying again
A prisoner bound to your hollow reign
Even when I’m free, the weight won’t leave
Of love that strangles and hate that weaves

[Bridge]
I’ve walked through flames that whisper my name
A pyre of memories, all burned the same
The shadows chant what I’ve become
A hollow vessel, deaf and numb
No redemption, no repair
Just the weight of despair in stagnant air

[Final Chorus]
Don’t hand me your candle; I’ve long since burned the wick
(The warmth is gone; it makes me sick)
The neon colors fade—I’ve forgotten their flick
(What is faith but a cruel trick?)
Each day I breathe, I’m dying again
A prisoner bound to your hollow reign
Even when I’m free, the chains remain
Of love that suffocates and hate that stains
