You Are

[ZeroDude]

I hold the flame in my hand,
I watch it slowly burn away,
But it's not the light that will shine,
Till the end of my days,
I'm not about to give up,
On looking for the light,
For the fire that is burning,
May hold it, it just might,

But time is wasting my time,
The time that I could use.
To gaze upon your glory,
To abandon my wayward views,
On sorrow and loss,
Regrets and my loathing,
Of people who fail to see,
The light and your love growing,
Into something other,
Less tangible that I,
But to see it is to believe it,
You open the flood gates and I cry,

You are why I'm looking,
You are what I need,
You are what I'm looking for,
But my heart it never will bleed,

I'm not into dying,
My life shall never be closed,
For that door can't be opened,
Although many have supposed,
That I am but a dreamer ,
Of things that will not pass,
I am but a dreamer who can't forsake the past,

You are why I'm looking,
You are what I need,
You are what I'm looking for,
But my heart it never will bleed,

Bleed me,
Let my rivers,
Let my rivers run to the sea,
Bleed me,
See me crying,
Set my emotions free,
Bleed me,
See me crying,
Set my emotions free,

I use the word "wayward" too much I'm starting to see the cracks, edit: that should be than in the line " Less Tangible Than I" is how it should read

This just seemed so dragged out..."flame", "burn", "light", "light", "fire", "burning"...all in that little bit...I think it was overkill.

But time is wasting my time,
The time that I could use.
To gaze upon your glory,
To abandon my wayward views,

That was my favorite part.
