Wandering here
Wandering there
A void with
An empty stare
Bow down
Give it praise
You are the one
Without the face
Maybe I'd find it maybe I won't
But I don't care
Because the lights are brighter
Now that the flame has gone
In these eyes
Watch it well
The glow with
An empty smell
Cave of red
Sanguine light
Can't give up
Without a fight
Running to catch you, maybe I will
Can't see far
Because the lights are brighter
Now that the flame has gone
Everything's vacant
Everything's free
Insipid candle
It holds the key
Struggling onwards
Towards an end
Flickering fearful
To what intent?
Stumble to focus, I fall so far
But I don't care
Because the lights are brighter
Now that the flame has gone

The Sun Is Waiting

I'm trapped on a sea
And you can't find me
Don't know where it is
What do you want with me?
Dive down to the deep
And you'll still love me
Don't know how I can
What do you want to see?
The sun is waiting
So silently for you
And only you
You are next to me
And we're out on the waves
The water is so blue
What is it you'll save?
Your presence soothes me
And so I fly to the stars
You say you have to go
So will you go far?
How did it get to this?
All the things that I miss
I've nothing for my head
Read between the lines instead

So goes the story
Take orders from high
We got what we wished for
It's no surprise
What happened was foretold
Looked you in the eyes
Burn all my bridges with me
I don't know what I think
Every time I try to think things over
I can never see past me
The world has limits but I won't see them
So I seek to disagree
So goes the story
Intentions collide
I got what I wished for
Don't look so surprised!
Ambition saved no-one
It just drags you down
Onward and upwards I go
I don't know what I think

What's Going On?

Walking along on a Sunday
I wouldn't want you to stay
Any longer
Any more
Tripping around on my best day
Back to the place where I lay
Long ago
Far away
I'll paint you a picture
To show you what's inside
Although I know you won't decide
What's going on
Tripping along on my best day
Tell me what did you say
In my mind
Very close
Falling down on a bad day
But I'll get up come what may
Every time
Every day

Strangers with Candy UK
A five piece that formed in Cambridge, UK. We began life as a covers band, playing electric and acoustic songs by our favourite bands. Soon we got the itch to write our own material, and so we wrote a load of songs. We love melody and we love noise in equal measure... ... more
