Candle in the Dark - Means End

We wait for light

But behold darkness

This I profess

The more I learn, the less I know

I always wondered how it can be so

Perhaps the true delight is not knowing

But finding?

Searching through a demon haunted world

Not knowing what I hope to find

The arc of my mind bends

Toward a singularity

Accelerating the perception of time

Into a point this focus is compressed

Adding new knowledge, everything is coalesced

I know more now than before

The only result being I need more…

Life can’t ever be long enough

To find a key that sets me free

Would I even want to be released?

The answer to this question is no

Treading into the unknown;

Places where I’ll be left alone

I’ll use my mind as a wick

And my soul as the oil to light the way

Just for a short while longer

Like a candle in the dark…
