[Verse 1]
Little wick in a quiet room
Cool wax
Holding every dream
Everybody asking
"Where's your flame?"
You just breathing
Listening between
Still air
Heartbeat in the floor
Shadows drawing puzzles on the wall
They calling you a lost spark
You just learning why the dark talks at all
[Chorus]
Unlit candles in the dark
Ain't failing
They just wait
For the meaning of a spark
For the rhythm in the shade
Sometimes shadows show the shape
That the glare can’t let you see
Unlit candles in the dark
Still burning
Quietly
[Verse 2]
Heavy night
Like a velvet hand
Soft pressure on your restless mind
Every outline slowly makes a face
Every silence carries subtle signs
You see corners that the day erased
Old scars shining in the black
Funny how the things that looked so bright
Kept you from ever looking back
[Chorus]
Unlit candles in the dark
Ain't failing
They just wait
For the meaning of a spark
For the rhythm in the shade
Sometimes shadows show the shape
That the glare can’t let you see
Unlit candles in the dark
Still burning
Quietly
[Bridge]
What if waiting is the work?
What if stillness is the song? (oh-oh)
What if every unseen ember
Been awake all along?
[Chorus]
Unlit candles in the dark
Ain't failing
They just wait
For the meaning of a spark
For the rhythm in the shade
Sometimes shadows show the shape
That the glare can’t let you see
Unlit candles in the dark
Already
Already learning light to be
