Flickering Flame - Intellectual

[Intro]

Oh, I wanted to see a fire ablaze in my heart

A flame not full of smoke

I know Your love is a fire

(Why am I so cold?)

My flesh it screams, “You’re a liar”

(Those cries are so old)

The smoke ascends, the embers dim

(Just follow its trail)

Help me I’m weak and so frail

I’m waiting for a reaction

(And the motions in between)

I’m looking for You

(Looking for you)

Every night I watch and wait as my candle’s burning out

Every night I scream and shout as my patience turns to doubt

Stay with Me, my flickering flame

Stay with Me, I know your name

Quit your fight, it's all in vain

When your flame takes flight, it will last the pouring rain

I’m waiting, flame smoking, and fading out

I’m fading, withering, will I weather?

I’m waiting, sustain me, help me weather

I’m fading, flame smoking, flickering and fading out

Oh, I wanted to feel the fire before mine goes out

A flame so bright it blinds

I’m waiting for a reaction

(And the motions in between)

I'm looking for You (Looking for)

I'm waiting for a reaction

I’m looking for You, right now

Stay with me flickering flame, I know your name

Every night I’ll watch and wait as my candle’s burning out

Every night I’m filled with doubt I will cry to You and shout
