‏‎light the candle - ‏‏‎jordanisdead lyrics

verse 1:

(lighter) light the candle beneath my eyes
they can’t handle heat, they’ll die
light the candle beneath my eyes
night will handle deceiving mine
plight the mantle, and redefine
light the candle beneath my eyes
light

light the candle beneath my eyes
night will handle deceiving mine
light the candle beneath my eyes
they can’t handle heat, they’ll die
plight the mantle and redefine
oil, light the mantle
oil, oil
soil, royal(ty)

verse 2:

light the candle beneath my eyes
melt me down, i guess we’ll see this time
wax dripping, i say i bleed these eyes
they won’t see the signs
(they won’t see the signs)
light the candle beneath my eyes
melt me down, i guess we’ll see this time
wax dripping, i say i bleed these eyes
they won’t see the signs
(they won’t see the signs)

they won’t see the signs
they will redefine
everything i be, i bleed, i seen them die
they don’t know, i know they stole the soul
of those that overdose, im going comatose

fight the battle, just to leave your corpse
take you to a museum, you can be decor
turn you to a figure they can position you
however they want, exposition you

those who ain’t care for your life, take pics with you
shape your body how they see, you’re a fiction who
never lived in the eyes of those who made you wax
you will never make it back, just another on the rack

bridge:

light the candle beneath my eyes
they can’t handle the heat, they’ll die
those ain’t tears, melted wax
those ain’t tears, melted wax
light the candle beneath my eyes
they can’t handle heat, they’ll die
those ain’t tears, melted wax
those ain’t tears, melted wax

verse 3:

they making money off of my wax
they’d rather that than run the time back
cuz a puppet is silent, they’ve got no voice in the realm of man
if they did, it’d be an overwhelming hand

sure they making bread for my fam left behind
but after give ‘em their scr*ps how much really left behind?
the museum siphoning life from the dead
they abuse freedoms wax figures don’t even get

they pretend that they doing it for you and for me
but really for consumers and they doing it for greed
they make sure to keep my room nice and cold
keep my figure immortal cuz i didn’t grow old

i didn’t get the chance to get washed up or disgrace my legacy
this place ensures that they misplace my memory
even ‘fore i’m petrified, i didn’t own my body
tell that to the gunman who took arms and shot me
tell that to the mother that had gave birth and raised me
tell that to the bullies that made sure to chase me
life is a mystery, i wish i had control of mine
it’s my risk to take, let me roll the dice

but today’s a new day, sat*rdays are quite busy
kids cut in line, afraid that they might miss me
no flash photography signs that stay unread
another rule’s broken, a mom says, “break a leg”

i see a lighter in a teenagers hand as he steps to me
he poses for a pic, says he got respect for me
before i know it, i devise a plan
though i haven’t moved in years, im reaching for his hand

straining what remains of me, just to move an inch
i reach and i reach, and just before he flinch
i make contact with the lighter and it drops to the ground
i watch it fall with grace and explode with a bounce (bounce)

everyone runs cuz we’ll be in flames any minute now
we’ll be in flames any minute now

as i begin to melt and succumb to nothing
a smile splits my face, the final one i’ll make
i set free myself and all my fallen brothers
i set free my own and all our mourning mothers

i reclaim my humanity within my final act
tho it’s of destruction, im no longer trapped
i pray you find pac, biggie, juice and then mac
if you light the candle you will see that they are wax

outro:

light the candle beneath my eyes
(f*ck)
light the candle beneath my eyes
