By Candlelight

can't think with the moon so full
the light shining into my eyes
the night seeping into my blood
can't seem to clear my mind of the lies
can't seem to see anything but his eyes

move silently through the empty rooms
cold and deathly still
walking on sharp pieces of glass
the blood of my heart to spill
pain is something that's hard to kill

everytime I think of his name
I give myself a dozen excuses why
why he doesn't care anymore
but keeps telling me the same old lie
it makes me want to die...

hand so deathly pale
as it passes through the smoke and fire
I can feel him in my blood tonight
but I can't feel the love for the ire
passion cooled but never desire

moonlight wash me clean
as I entone my prayers to the Higher Power
I feel so dirty in the eyes of my only god
I stand in the pale moonlight shower
please make me pure again this hour

my heart is open and bare for him
but I can't see to make things right
close my eyes and try not to cry
and lie awake another sleepless night
can't see my way by candlelight
