Fireflies

(album: Melancholia Hymns - 2017)

I wish I could sympathise
But I don't
I see you with child eyes
Never no more
How I wish it'd be dignified
But it's no use
And I'll sing for a simple life
While I swing from the noose
The noose, the noose, the noose

We're falling like fireflies
Strayed from the shore
Waiting to realise
We're caught in the storm
All of your compromise
And all of your talk
Will fade out with no surprise
And swallow you whole
Enough, enough

Delicate your innocence
Waiting for the click of design
Navigate your fingertips
Watch the apple fall from his eye
So down we came into your home
Taking all our scriptures desire
Never were you all alone
All we want's a piece of the quiet

But we're falling like fireflies
Strayed from the shore
Waiting to realise
We're caught in the storm
All of your compromise
And all of your talk
Will fade out with no surprise
And swallow you whole

So don't you feel the colours as they fade?
Ripples in an ocean of the same
Stripped of all the wonder and your name
So help me forget
Help me forget (that I'm falling for it)

Now we're falling like fireflies
Who strayed from the shore
Waiting to realise
We're caught in the storm
And all of your compromise
And all of your talk
Will fade out with no surprise
And swallow you whole
You know, you know, you know
You know, you know
