Eyes As Candles by Passion Pit is the 5th song on their debut album Manners which is in stores and online now!

Lyrics:

My world astir and sickly
Spits out our voices singing
Tra la la la on high now
To kingdom come so slightly
Hrein a void in your place
I twitch and tweak in allusion
To sit and stare so blankly
Until all hope is used up
Why do I always need to need you when youre fleeting?
Where do you go when Im around?
What have I done, what have I lost
Thats so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear a crown?
Oh na na na na na na hey hey hey
In some dark room
A smoky figure fills me full
Makes my head swell in ruin
My family kneels at their pew
They nod. We believe in what you are doing
I feel it rise above me
The western landscapes towering
And from my shell of a body
The flowers blossom for picking
Ive waited and waited for someone
To take it
Dont fight it dont bother.
An inch for another
Dont listen, dont hear them
Theyre in this together
Ive learned well; now hear me,
Theres much to be fearing
Im used to your absence,
Your faceless distraction
Ive painted your patterns
But found them attractive
Now Ive been leaning
Towards a life far more candid
Though lead through the dark
With your eyes as my candles
Where your life and my lifes directions
Can wrangle
And all of a sudden youve left me to handle
The reasons that never forbid me
To stand tall
And somehow or somewhere
I found out the secret
To staying alive without actually breathing.
