Indus Creed - 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
