lyrics

We have no idea
Where we are right now
Lost in emptiness
Candles of hope no longer burn bright
The shores of peace a distant memory
With palms pressed to glass Our own reflection turns away
Locked out from the inside
Screams for help in soundproof rooms
We are drowning in the crescendos of survival Waves of doubt crashing down Like tides falling under full moons
and the belief in new beginnings
Fades to darkness
But even then
When gravity grips you
And reality is stranger than fiction
Remember
For what it’s worth
Sometimes
Only the pain can keep the lights on

Chorus:

It will come to you in time
I know your candle doesn't burn as bright, in the cold
Deep down, I know you must know
That I'll be by your side
Oh I know, I'll ignite, I'll ignite, ignite.


Verse 2

We seem to forget
That even when your heart has been abandoned far too long
Left to find something from nothing And the bitter cold surrounds you
As long as there is life, there will always be light
There is no escape from heartache
We can’t clap our hands to make it go away
But we can let go of our cries
Bring rain to the thunder
Strike fire on dusk
Hold hands when all seems lost
Until, one day, someday, soon
Clarity comes to mind
And somewhere between the blink of an eye
And a new sunrise You hear a voice
That distant friend
The honesty you once knew so well
Calls you by your name,
Tells you
Do not be afraid

Chorus

Verse 3

Show the world we are more than just a body of harsh storms
Of lost stars
Of burn scars
We are embers
Flickers
Pages
Stories
We are Sparks
No two moments are alike, what will you do, will you let your flame die or will you ignite?

Chorus
