Now I've been told
of all these floating candles
they are warm but I'm
not to touch them.

They shine as stars and they
turn like tables
And such a flame's never
whispered to me before.

And I'll say

Why can't I?
Why can't I?
When every other flicker of a flame's
just a jester's breath away?
Why can't I?
When will you
Take the grail and
push it back in place?

Now I've ripped all my deeds and I've
Doused myself with water
And the feeling that I got
was of clutching eyes

Ohhhhh the fumes are so sweet
and the lacquer is so strong
and the cold front moves in
to a saturated cloud.



I'm a galleon between
the sun and the shores
the wind has gone blind and
the lighthouse is dark...

Steal me a sail,
Suffocate a soldier...



Why can't I?
Why can't I?
When every other flicker of a flame's
just a jester's breath away?
Why can't I?
When will you
Take the grail and
push it back in place?





My deepest roots fed on that fruit.
My deepest roots snatched up that sin.
Now I dare not turn the tide
on that infirmiry.

Oh cold, just let me be.
