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

about

This single was recorded and mixed on Sunday 28th March 2021. Remember what it was like to listen to a CD single back in the day, where the disc would have several songs on it? That's the listening experience being duplicated here. There are seven remixes of "Hold the Wick". Each remix is by a different artist and in a different style. Enjoy the journey.
