Текст пісні
I'm standing on the edge of the jagged rock
Listening to the rhythm of the ticking clock
The fog is rolling in, thick and gray
And I'm the only one who knows the way
I drew the maps you keep in your glove box
I know the combination to the hidden locks
You look at me and see a structure made of stone
Solid and steady, standing on its own
But you never asked who guides the guide
Or what is crumbling on the inside
I'm a compass spinning with a broken needle
Playing the part of the strong and the regal
But north is a direction I can't find
When I'm trapped in the maze of my own mind
I'm a lighthouse burning down from within
But you only see the light, you don't see the sin
The glass is cracking from the heat of the fire
But I keep the flame raising higher and higher
As long as you're safe, as long as you steer
You'll never know that I'm dying in here
I hold the lantern so you don't hit the reef
Buried underneath my own quiet grief
"He knows the way," that's what you always say
"He'll find the sun on the darkest day"
But who holds the lantern for the one who holds the light?
When the cold wind screams in the middle of the night
I'm a compass spinning with a broken needle
Playing the part of the strong and the regal
But north is a direction I can't find
When I'm trapped in the maze of my own mind
I'm a lighthouse burning down from within
But you only see the light, you don't see the sin
The glass is cracking from the heat of the fire
But I keep the flame raising higher and higher
As long as you're safe, as long as you steer
You'll never know that I'm dying in here
The oil is low, the wick is burnt black
There is no map for the way back!
I'm signaling S.O.S. to the empty sky
But the ships just wave as they sail on by!
I'm a lighthouse burning down from within
But you only see the light, you don't see the sin
The glass is cracking from the heat of the fire
But I keep the flame raising higher and higher
You think everything is fine
Just look at the light
Don't look inside
Don't look inside
