Yeah…
Light don’t ask for permission.
It just burns — whether you’re ready or not.

Burn slow, not out — that’s the motto,
Drip wax dreams, gold in the hollow.
Smoke in the lungs, but I’m breathin’ fine,
Every scar’s just part of the design.
No saint, but I still shine steady,
Whole life heavy, heart still ready.
Flame flick quick when the dark gets near,
I don’t fear it — I engineer it.

Every loss got a glow to lend,
You burn a little just to bend.

Candle theory, fire in my veins,
Learned more from the wax than the flame.
Can’t kill a light that feeds on pain,
Still burn bright through the smoke and rain.
Candle theory — slow decay,
But I’m built to glow, not fade away.

Got heat in the hurt, groove in the grief,
Every low got a hidden relief.
Sweat on my palms, but I still build,
Fuel from the spill, yeah, I stay skilled.
They said dim down, play it safe,
But I turn the doubt to a power base.
Drip that fear, melt that pride,
I’m the wax and the match collide.

If I fade, it’s by design,
Still burnin’ past the finish line.

Candle theory, fire in my veins,
Learned more from the wax than the flame.
Can’t kill a light that feeds on pain,
Still burn bright through the smoke and rain.
Candle theory — slow decay,
But I’m built to glow, not fade away.

Every dream got a cost, yeah I paid in heat,
Every truth I lost still moves my feet.
Burnin’ out? Nah — I’m burnin’ through,
That’s what every real light gotta do.

Candle theory, spark divine,
Meltin’ down just feels like shine.
Can’t kill a light that feeds on pain,
Still burn bright through the smoke and rain.
Candle theory, don’t go gray —
I was built to glow, not fade away.
