Eyes As Candles

My world astir and sickly
 Spits out our voices singing
 "Tra la la la," on high now
 To kingdom come so slightly
 Herein a void in your place
 I twitch and tweak in allusion
 To sit and stare so blankly
 Until all hope is used up
 Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
 Where do you go when I'm around?
 What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating?
 And have the nerve to wear the crown?
 Ooh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 In some dark room
 A smoky figure fills me full
 Makes my head swell in ruin
 My family kneels at their pew
 They nod, "We believe in what you're doing"
 I feel it rise above me
 The western landscapes towering
 And from my shell of a body
 The flowers blossom for picking
 Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
 Where do you go when I'm around?
 What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating?
 And have the nerve to wear the crown?
 Ooh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 Na na na na na na, hey hey hey
 I've waited and waited for someone to take it
 Don't fight it don't bother, an inch for another
 Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together
 I've learned well now hear me, there's much to be fearing
 I'm used to your absence, your faceless distractions
 I've painted your patterns, but found them attractive
 Now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid
 Through lead through the dark with yours eyes as my candles
 Where you're life and my life's directions can wrangle
 And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
 The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall
 And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret
 To staying alive without actually breathing
