i don't need no candles

candles, i don't

i don't

eh

i don't need no candles

i've got a fire in my gut

burning slow and steady

no, i don't need no candles

if i'd get 'em all in just one breath

and the wish i wish come true

you'd smile that smile and thrilled accept

this proffered heart I gift to you

i don't need no candles

like stars in the sky

i've got a spark in my eye

no, i don't need no candles

...

i...

i hope you know

what power you have

it's in your breath

one breath

upon the fires that burn in me

can stoke them to a roaring blaze

and forge in me a man of steel

a man of strength

a man to rule the world

but

one breath

spitefully, carelessly placed

the fire is gone

sending smoky tendrils up like

in(no)sense

oh you'll get your wish all right

...

...

...

still

for now

i don't need no candles

i've got a fire in my gut

i've got a spark in my eye

no, i don't need no candles
