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 a crown?
Oh na na na na na na
Hey 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
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
Though lead through the dark
With your eyes as my candles
Where your 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
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 a crown?
Oh na na na na na na
Hey 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
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
Though lead through the dark
With your eyes as my candles
Where your 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

That's a frosty way to speak, To tell me how to live next to your potpourri All this talking pulls my teeth I believed in you, so you believed in
Me, I cried out "God" You dared me in the dark I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel
Once I had an name to claim It scraped along the walls like an orthodox saint. I wish for the same old things that turn me inside out. Hearing is a strain, it's a game!
Me, I cried out "God" You dared me in the dark I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel
Never have I ever been Clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin, But that's the kind of state I'm in: Swimming in a pool of godly medicine
"Come, come," I hear it calling me, yelling, Like if ever there was someone who could make things heavy again. Feel alive!
Me, I cried out "God" You dared me in the dark I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel
Me, I cried out "God" You dared me in the dark I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel
You obviously illegally obtained your copy of their album, as your posted lyrics are for "To Kingdom Come".<br /> <br /> The lyrics on this page are correct.
you obviously are jumping to conclusion. I received an advance copy of the album from the label directly, and most of the songs were mislabeled.
dude, these are not the lyrics for Eyes Like Candles...
yes they are this song is eyes as candles if you downloaded it off of limewire or something like that you will get it labeled as to kingdom come my friend had the same problem
