this is my first decent completed song. its very emo wherein it has a lot of figurative language and a lot of metaphors.


(Down in Flames)
By: Matthew Kram

[verse 1]
This heart shaped candle
Has been cracked for days
It’s never been lit
And that’s just how it stays
So strike a match
And ignite the flame
Play with fire again
And im goin down in flames!

[chorus]
So here is my heart
Take it or leave it
I’ll give you my love
Whenever you need it
Just don’t drop me
Or I may shatter
Handle this candle like glass

Handle my heart shaped candle like glass
Handle my heart like glass

[verse 2]
This wick is burning
Like me for you
Its dancing glow
Warms this empty room
But the more I fight it
The more it consumes
Fire cauderizes the wound
But it brings more pain
I'm goin down in flames
But you melt this candle again!

[bridge]
I give you my love
Balled up in wax
Tug at my heartstrings
Set them on fire
All these mind games
Are killing me
Your pyrokinesis
Burning me up again
And I’m going down in flames!

[chorus]
So here is my heart
Take it or leave it
I'll Say it again
Cuz it bears being repeated
Please don’t drop me
Or I may shatter
Handle this candle like glass

Handle my heart shaped candle like glass
Handle my heart like glass!
