lyrics

Cut my cheek on this gleaming horizon
Celestial womb; unborn child of hope
I can't move my eyes from the light
The tears burn and I wander into the afterglow

Must have been chasing that firefly
Fallen down again
On my knees
Lost my balloon to an electric sky
Trying harder than you'll ever know
To hold your lightning
The dying glow
We're so far out now
Lights of the city choke

This endeavor is terminal
Just as the insect is drawn to the lamp
Chasing your color in circles
It was at its brightest as I lost it

Standing on the crumbling edge of my loyalty to a love unknown
I never wanted to be here in the first place
Desire, a single drop that drowned my soul
Hold the hand of death as the earth quakes
Destruct to repair the vanity throne
Fire burns through this vacant mindscape
Bring it down, it was never my own

Fear takes hold
Don't leave my soul to die alone

Kind memories of a warmth I felt inside
Trying to grasp what was never there
I am so high on chance and the hope for someone to make me feel alive
The essence of time decays
The world around me fading away
Except for the glow in the dark of night
Is it worth the chase

Must have been chasing that firefly
Fallen down again
On my knees
Lost my balloon to an electric sky
Trying harder than you'll ever know
To hold your lightning
The dying glow
We're so far out now
Lights of the city choke
