Put the Candle Back

from Garden of Edith by Cyanide Slugs

lyrics

Monsters on the outside
Malefactors on the inside
Yeah there’s just no way to live here
And nowhere to go

Righteous is the new right
It’s a swordfight with the black knight
Does anyone know how I
Can get home

<chorus>
Crumble crumble
See the bedrock crack
Try to fix it
Put the candle back
But the gears lock
And the mechanism stops
</chorus>

Everyone’s an asshole
Or a moron with a bankroll
And I can’t find any good reason
To go on

Swimming in the deep end
Trying really hard not to descend
With a basket-case of factors
Flung in my face

<chorus>

But we can always laugh
And do it ‘til we cry
Just let it all come out

A singer’s gotta sing
Or maybe even scream
Just let it all come out

Cling to the art of the life
Be a rapturous husband and wife

Outlook on the downside
All experience is red-eyed
But I want to be uplifted
And revived

<chorus>
