Lyrics

I lit a candle in a borrowed room
Asked for light, not knowing what it'd do
Said I was ready, said I was strong
Didn't know the answer would last this long
They say truth sets you free
Nobody said it cuts this deep
I shouldn't have prayed
To find out what was real
I shouldn't have asked
For the veil to be peeled
Now every color screams
Every silence knows my name
I was safer in the dark
I shouldn't have prayed
I saw the sun in a field too wide
Every star like an open eye
Beauty came like a loaded gun
Pulled the trigger, couldn't outrun
They say madness is seeing more
Or maybe it's seeing it all at once
I shouldn't have prayed
To understand the pain
I shouldn't have begged
For a mind unchained
Now the world won't sit still
Every thought's a blade
I was warm in the doubt
I shouldn't have prayed
I thought God would whisper
Instead He roared
Every truth came crashing
Through my front door
If this is heaven
It's too bright to stay
If this is meaning
It took everything
Some people live their lives asleep
Some of us wake and never sleep
I shouldn't have prayed
For the final sight
I shouldn't have reached
For the burning light
Now I know too much
And it won't fade
I loved the world too hard
I shouldn't have prayed
