Ash Diamond - Filament Lyrics

Standing in the spotlight
Loose spirit held too tight
Reluctant voice of strangers
Came out and shone at night

You're a filament
Shining like a light
Like a filament
Burning up inside
You're a filament
Didn't know the reason why

On that cold April morning
Saw the end in sight
Chose burning over fading
Didn't see how it was bright

Like a filament
Burning up inside
You're a filament
Shining like a light
Like a filament
You had no place to hide

The book of life lay on the table burning
You wondered was there any spark at all
Hanging by a thread
The world outside kept turning
You thought your book was emptiness
But in the end it lives for evermore
