A Tattoo of a Candle Songtext
von A Place for Owls

I really should slow down
But I feel better when I′m hell for leather
All my friends have doubts
But I don't bother treading water

Someday I′ll be grown
Worn and wiser, the great divisor
But if it all goes up in smoke
I'll tend a fire till I expire


I'm smoking cigarettes with Daniel
A tattoo of a candle
A flicker and a fade
And everything has changed
I don′t need another reason
It′s just another season
The leaves will fall and fade
And everything's the same

Shake frost from your bones
Rise and wander with a builder′s daughter
Feast on all you know
Draw your breath in, hope is a weapon

I'm smoking cigarettes with Daniel
A tattoo of a candle
A flicker and a fade
And everything has changed
I don′t need another reason
It's just another season
The leaves will fall and fade
And everything′s the same
