In the darkness the candle is illuminated, the shadows enter the room uninvited. Who are you in the closet? Keep back, at times you are not welcomed. I reach for my soul, and bring the pipe to my lips. I invite my friends out for a talk and a dance. Share with me your thoughts, I feel the same. The night is long and my friends are leaving. The candle flickers and I see them looking back. The light has exhausted, and my friends are gone, the music has ended. Lying down, looking up, my soul leaves. Alone again. When will I dance again? I can not see you, I miss you. I reach for my soul, and illuminate a candle.

how in the fuck do you illuminate a candle? with a spotlight, and your use of the past tense in the present would make a real german like mozart, chew his way through bone dirt and wood to find you, to chew!
