She sits beside a candlelight, a naked flame Upon the walls a shadow falls, her perfect shape She's buried deep, her memory she prayed would go away But it's only getting closerShe gently sighs and slips inside a dress she made The deepest red with golden thread and silver lace She breathes in deep, she lifts her feet and steps out in the rain And it's falling on her shouldersAnd the silent night, she tries to light her cigarette She burns her throat inhales the smoke into her chest And out she breathes the memory she's dying to forget But this pain is going nowhereShe takes a ride, she's only trying to get away She leaves behind the lonely nights and empty days And prays she'll find a place to hide, a candlelight embrace But there's no one there to hold herThere's no one there to hold her, she's only getting colder And as she shakes she fades away into the dark before her She prays this place forgets her, and swear she won't remember She looks behind a final time and says goodbye foreverShe knows she's only leaving, to find her way to freedom Oh, this violet light and silver rays and shadows falling on her face She's finally believing that any heart is leaving Oh, she disappears into the night and hopes she never finds her way home
