Live In A Dark Alley (Live)

by Candle

1.
Darkness ======== I live the life of a truant I like to contemplate darkness But when I start to daydream My mind turns straight to silence Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes I notice the way I think about silence with a smile Curved lips just can't disguise But I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile I need to walk in the shadows I need to dance in the rain But when I'm left alone My mind turns straight to silence Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes I notice the way I think about silence with a smile Curved lips just can't disguise But I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile I get lost in the chaos And die in the mundane And I only seem happy when My mind turns straight to silence Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes I notice the way I think about silence with a smile Curved lips just can't disguise But I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile Oh yeah One more time… Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes I notice the way I think about silence with a smile Curved lips just can't disguise But I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile And I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile

Fading Away ========== Fading low is the light As I crawl off into the night I know this isn't the time But I'm falling down the line Away from my past Away at last Away from my past Away at last But what did they say On that beautiful day? When all the lights came on We noticed they were gone Isn't that always the way When you're fading away? Fading away Coming forward, forward down the line As we perform, perform this perfect crime Oh General, General why must I die? Of Mother, Mother where is the sky? I can't see it now You talked always of how I can't see it now You talked always of how But what did we say On that dirty day? When all the lights went out We were ordered not to rout But you know that's just the way What can I say? It's the only way When you're fading away Fading away I'm fading away

Hold My Hand =========== Rant

In Your Eyes =========== In your eyes I see the reflexion Of all that lies In some forgotten direction Somewhere deep down We'll find the sound In your eyes I try to look past the pain In your eyes That's where I remain There's a darkness Out in the world Sometime I'll be free In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes We can't despise Or hide from the lies In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes
6.
Before The Rain ============== Seven years have passed since I last held your hand Seven years it has been hard for me to live without you Yet somewhere deep inside I know there is light Oh, there is light Through the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain In the cul-de-sac I will come back To that night before the rain Still I don't know what happened on that dark lonely night The sidewalk was broken and the shadows were deeper Than I had ever seen in my life And somehow I just knew I could feel, feel you Somehow I just knew I could still feel you Somehow I could just feel I could just feel I could feel Through the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain In the cul-de-sac I will come back To that night before the rain Before the rain… There's a whisper, just a whisper of pain In the darkness I'll wrap myself in shadows so I could remain So I could remain, so I could remain out of the rain I could remain out of the rain Through the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain In the cul-de-sac I will come back To that night before the rain Through the cul-de-sac maybe I'll come back To that night before the rain To that night before the rain To that night before the rain Before the rain…

about

With the success of "Searching For Catharsis", Candle found himself at another emotional & spiritual crossroads near the end of November, 2021. So he drew upon this previous success & followed the same methodology in order to confront the demons that were plaguing his thoughts. Again, he logged onto an online streaming service with no intention of worrying about an audience, plugged in his guitar, & bore his soul for all to hear.

Live In A Dark Alley is a chronicle of that performance.

See You In The Shadows…
