Lyrics
Hold the wick
Light it up with me
Touch the surfaces you doused with gasoline
Hold the wick
Brandish it by day
Grip it tighter when the wax has dripped away
Capillary action pulls you higher, so hold the wick
Hold the wick
Stare into the flame
Steel yourself for what it takes to play the game
Hold the wick
Wave it all around
Gloating over the lives you burned to the ground
Capillary action pulls you higher, so hold the wick
Hold the wick
You will get yours, too
So hold the wick
Hold the wick
