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…

lyrics

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
