Illuminate and Burn

Cold Is taking over With soldiers in the snow The more I fight it The more I feel it grow Connect and fracture The future never holds I want to love you The way you deserve Like a candle Illuminate and burn And through a distance An ocean lives there It stepped right through me it was moving so slow I kept a piece of it and now I’m not the same Down in the canyon I was screaming your name But I forgot the reason that I came There’s not enough of me left to give Because living makes it hard to cover sins You Were a fighter Defending with your fists Like the rapture Preaching as you hit Though I expected it The future never holds There’s not enough of me left to give Because living makes it hard to cover sins
