Fireflies - Indus Creed
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
We don't concede
We hide we blame
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
