I'm sorry (Hush, Hush)
Fiery candle, why do you flicker so?
Quivering naked in the moonlight
Leaking wax tear drops that harden on your skin
To stay there as a reminder,
of the torture I put you through
I'm sorry, but I need the warmth
That your death can give me
Please forgive me little candle,
I know you're perturbed
By the slowly forced suicide
I am making you endure
I only do it to see how it feels for them
Killing softly, silently (hush, hush)
It's such a beautiful way to die
With the lively orange dulling
out to a wisp of smoke
Dancing up till dispersing
into the stillness
Maybe I'll save you, maybe I wont
The daisy petals argue about your life
As the trivial thing it is to them
I am dizzy with power, tilting
my blazing crown to cover my eyes
So I won't have to see you
Withering away at my command
You don't wail for mercy, braver than I
Yet foolish with fear induced misery
I take pity on you, blowing out the bright
It is as if you were never there
You merely fade away into the black
Jealousy sets me alight
Quivering naked in the moonlight
Leaking wax tear drops that harden on your skin
To stay there as a reminder,
of the torture I put you through
I'm sorry, but I need the warmth
That your death can give me
Please forgive me little candle,
I know you're perturbed
By the slowly forced suicide
I am making you endure
I only do it to see how it feels for them
Killing softly, silently (hush, hush)
It's such a beautiful way to die
With the lively orange dulling
out to a wisp of smoke
Dancing up till dispersing
into the stillness
Maybe I'll save you, maybe I wont
The daisy petals argue about your life
As the trivial thing it is to them
I am dizzy with power, tilting
my blazing crown to cover my eyes
So I won't have to see you
Withering away at my command
You don't wail for mercy, braver than I
Yet foolish with fear induced misery
I take pity on you, blowing out the bright
It is as if you were never there
You merely fade away into the black
Jealousy sets me alight
