[Intro]
A flicker in the heart of dark,
A soft spark in a world turned stark,
The weight of indifference wraps the streets,
But in this palm, the flame repeats.
[Verse 1]
In pockets sewn with invisible seams,
A thief steals fire from God’s ashtray dreams.
Fingers dance on metal, hoping, lit,
Twixt frozen algorithms where we all sit.
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath crystallized in bank vaults grey,
Echoes of laughter, swept away.
Eyes like expired parking meters,
Counting down seconds, counting our features.
[Chorus]
Oh, let the lighter sing its hymn,
A pocket-sized revolt, we’ll never dim.
Against the chill, against the scorn,
A flame in hand where love is born.
[Musical break]
[Verse 2]
Mechanical marionettes on threads of apathy,
Staring blankly, unable to see.
We drag our shadows through frozen skies,
A hunger for warmth behind dull eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath crystallized in bank vaults grey,
Echoes of laughter, swept away.
Eyes like expired parking meters,
Counting down seconds, counting our features.
[Chorus]
Oh, let the lighter sing its hymn,
A pocket-sized revolt, we’ll never dim.
Against the chill, against the scorn,
A flame in hand where love is born.
[Musical break]
[Refrain]
[Fade out]
