Lyrics

You’ve been waiting on a lifetime with your hand to the plow
Aren’t these droughts meant to end someday and somehow?
You know a little more than nothing about somethings and everything else
While all your life eludes you and leaves you doubting yourself

Preaching against all those demons in the noonday sun
Worn outward pride, dying inside, you think you’re the only one
You quit the war so long ago and now you do the devil’s work
Cut down with your crown on, hubris made you into a jerk

(But) When you stumble in the darkness
Bring a weary flame and I’ll bring mine
We’ll feast on the world together, rekindle that fire
So can you meet me? Can you meet me?

You and resignation sat face to face just like young lovers do
But it’s a staring contest that you simply can’t afford to lose.
This famine, all your mammon, left you skin and bones
Craving a slow meal with some friends, but you fast alone.

(But) When you stumble in the darkness
Bring a weary flame and I’ll bring mine
We’ll feast on the world together, rekindle that fire
So can you meet me? Can you meet me?

You kept the martyr alive, fed the hollow inside, nowhere to hide & no room (at the inn)
But you furnished a plot so precise, a cozy little tomb (Is that a sin?)
All your causes caused no pauses before you peaced out
Man, you've forgotten who you were, who you are, what you’re all about

(But) When you stumble in the darkness
Bring a weary flame and I’ll bring mine
We’ll feast on the world together, rekindle that fire…

If you sink into the darkness
Bring a weary flame and I’ll bring mine
We’ll feast in the world together, rekindle that fire
So can you meet me? Can you meet me?
Can you meet me? Can you meet me?
Can you?
