A single ray of light is dancing in a darkened room
it penetrates an eye close-by, but the black is not removed
the face in which the eye resides is a mix of cloth and stone
a pale linen veil draped over withered bones

She hovers like a moth over the flame,
But it's not the light she needs, only the heat it brings
And as I watch the powder start to change
I know where seven years have gone to waste

I would give the world
To go back all those years
And stop you at the start
before you disappeared

I'll be there for you when I can
just show me there's yet something there
that's still worth fighting for

The world around her is just spinning like a carousel
All attempts to revert back to normalcy have quickly failed
As her immortality is sizzling on a silver spoon
She'll contemplate the point in space and then create the wound

I do not know this solemn ghost
It's not the human I recall
her shell's remained the same
But all the hope in her is gone

I would give the world
To go back all those years
And stop you at the start
before you disappeared

I'll be there for you when I can
just show me there's yet something there
that's still worth fighting for

save me
save me
save me
come on say
save me
save me
save me
and I'll replace the flame

my little ray of light is dancing in a cloud she made
I wish she'd come back down where it is safe
And stay
