Shifting Candlelight

from Still a Kid in a Painted Sky by Matt Moody

/

about

Written during a trip to Monument Valley, AZ.

lyrics

sometimes when i'm driving
i think about swerving on the wrong side
i don't know why

a schoolbus full of children
whizzes by as i've been completely petrified
afraid to realize

that the road i travel
is not as long as i've thought
and fragile

i don't wanna die
i just wanna know what it's like
on the otherside
lay me down inside
the burning heart of god
like a lullaby
cause it's all a lie
i'm just shifting candlelight

moments in the valley
are monuments i'll carry
my whole life
silience takes me away like a kite

calling to the saddle
whiplash is an arrow
speeding through time

and the road i travel
is dark and narrow
