I keep my room lit by fireflies
Because the sun is too bright
And the stars too far away to catch
Memories come through the light 
Whispering songs of good and evil 
Floating through the air 
Catching me breathless 

So I lay here
And stare into your eyes 
Because they glow like the fireflies 
And I miss everything 
From the photographs hanging on the wall

I just keep waiting for the time 
When I can be in your soul 
Holding on to those old feelings
So I can sleep at night
Knowing that you're okay
Holding on to the memories 
I hope you remember

How can I go on 
Knowing that eventually 
The fireflies burn out 
The photographs fade 
And the fish will reach the surface 
In a silent backstroke

We can collect their carcasses 
And arrange them on the shore 
Like some twisted Escher welcome mat
And wait for the night 
And that familiar firefly light
