11:22 Lyrics - Singles - I Voted For Kodos

This candle, this flame 

I'll sit and watch it burn, slowly 

It burns away the memories of the pain I've felt 

So soon, so far away 

Don't try to hold it for a day 

It just makes things worse, I've learned 

If you try, you'll try to hold it close to you 

The more it slips away 

I feel numb from the neck down 

My arms hang useless, my feet drag on 

I'm staring straight 

I'm staring straight ahead 

Inside of me, I'll hold it down 

I know I can kill this with time 

Don't fight, don't fight it 

It makes it all worthwhile 

When I stare into the sun 

I just can't look away 

Thought it starts out warm 

I've learned it can burn me 

It seems I'll never learn 

Don't try to hold it for a day 

It just makes things worse, I've learned 

If you try, you'll try to hold it close to you 

The more it slips away 

Don't try to hold her for a day 

You'll just make it hurt, I've learned 

Though you'll try, you'll never hold her close enough to you 

The more she slips away 

This candle, this flame 

I'll sit and watch it burn, slowly 

It burns away the memories of the pain I've felt 

So soon, so far away 

Don't try to hold it for a day 

It just makes things worse, I've learned 

Oh I've tried, I tried to hold her close to me 

And now she's slipped away
