Candle In The Dark

We wait for light
But behold darkness
This I profess

The more I learn, the less I know
I always wondered how it can be so

Perhaps the true delight is not knowing
But finding?

Searching through a demon haunted world
Not knowing what I hope to find
The arc of my mind bends
Toward a singularity
Accelerating the perception of time

Into a point this focus is compressed
Adding new knowledge, everything is coalesced
I know more now than before
The only result being I need more

Life can't ever be long enough
To find a key that sets me free
Would I even want to be released?
The answer to this question is no

Treading into the unknown
Places where I'll be left alone
I'll use my mind as a wick
And my soul as the oil to light the way
Just for a short while longer
Like a candle in the dark
