Das Licht - XP8, Syrian

And so I woke, into the light

To touch your face, it felt so bright

But after light comes dark, and after laughter tears

I ate my cake to swallow my fears

I saw it dim

I saw it flicker

I pulled the plug, to make it quicker

In trying to give, I took it all

Flew into the light, and now I fall

I adore the light until it wanes

I got so close I burst into flames

I sought the light at every turn

I held you tight, until it burned

In trying to give, I took it all
