lyrics

The little bit of darkness that you've feared
Has grown since then come again to find you
Stirring up the embers of a pile at your feet
Wondering "How am I to keep this fire burning?"

A little bit of kerosine is all it ever took
But you only had the money for a half-full matchbook
So you sold your heart and home for a bit of the good stuff
Saying "Why should I be the only one without it?"

If there's a light at the end
Don't let the end be far
Nothing stays aflame too long
When the wind hits this hard
You were reaching for the surface
But just kept sinking into the core
If there's a light at the end
Don't let the end be far

Now all your higher-ups are still there lying in their dirt
And what you once swore would kill you now it doesn't even hurt
Now you can't even see what you would have sworn you'd be missing
All the bad dreams have gone now and with them the good dreams

If there's a light at the end
Don't let the end be far
Nothing stays aflame too long
When the wind hits this hard
You were reaching for the surface
But just kept sinking into the core
If there's a light at the end
Don't let the end be far
