Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely,
Hidden deep inside
Of you only.
It's there for you to see,
Take a look at me:
Burn slowly the candle of life.
Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time,
Falling slowly.
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go:
Burn slowly the candle of life.

So love everybody
And make them your friends.
So love everybody
And make them your friends.

Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely,
Hidden deep inside
Of you only.
It's there for you to see,
Take a look at me:
Burn slowly the candle of life.

Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time,
Falling slowly.
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go:
Burn slowly the candle of life.

    Damn, these guys can harmonize.

    This is song about how overclocked life can become. I hear stories about the rat race and how gamers overclock their computers to play the newest of newfangled timewasters, and they are missing out. Life is meant to be experienced, not wasted like a precious natural resources because it is the only one you have.

    This song rules.
