lyrics

I sailed your waters but they ignited around me
So I capsized, jump ship - hoping that’s what could save me
But in the fiery debris
Comes the wrath of my baggage, my grief’s release.

Please don’t let me die
While the smoke clouds your star in the sky
I need you, my firefly
I can hear your horses cry but your prince leaves me out to dry
And I see our life flash before my eyes

An arrows shot through my heart makes me bleed
And its poison seeps in, but its weight only belongs to me
So I sink into blazing waters
Confused by my rage, I just fan the flames hotter
And they burn my fingertips,
Every memory of touch
Left to melt away with my skin

What’s there left to cry
When I can’t find your star in the sky?
Come to me, my firefly.
I see the flames and your waves collide
What can I do when my selfish pride’s
Just the shell that you’ve left behind?
In this eclipse will I be left to reside?
Without your light in my eyes, I need you dear firefly.

And I’ll look for you in the sky, my firefly.
