Fireflies Lyrics

Grim tales by fairy lights
We sat mesmerised
Mesmerised dancing iridescence
In your eyes like fireflies

Partners in devilment
We grabbed each
Day unafraid
But the cold hands
Of consequence
Broke the spell and
Wrecked the game

Oh the sun went out today
For reasons you won’t say
And i just can’t look away
From those fireflies

Naked rage or self defense
Will we ever know who’ll let go
No remorse or penitence
Can save the raft
From the undertow

Oh the sun went out today
And the colours
Burned into gray
But i just can’t look away
From those hurting eyes

We hurt we grieve
How could we imagine
This would be
We don’t concede
We hide we blame
We believed that the
World would stay the same
Our illusions won’t
Efface the pain
It remains

The sun went out today
For reasons i can’t say
And the colours
Died in the pale
Oh the sun went out today
And i just can’t
Look away from
Those fireflies
Tall tales and satellites
All that remain
Turn back the day.
