Testo Fireflies

Invisible, inviting visions linger

This swirl of smoke looks like her slender body

I see everything in frames now

Golden gilded, rippled edges wave goodnight


Lightsleeper, what's keeping you from waking?

This shallow stare has said it all



Your cold dark face reminds me of the night we learned to smoke

Fireflies at our lips

Thirty-seven years until I show my face again

Steal this moment, make it worth saving



Lightsleeper, what's keeping you from waking?

This shallow stare has said it all



Choke down the clouds that cloud your head now

It would make my gloomy day

Whoever you are, you've stayed far away for too long



The clocks are flipping on their backs

Don't stay too late, I'll fizzle and fade

A statue of stoned beliefs

A monument to monumental dying thoughts

Let the currents take us where they will

From this hill I can see the world unfold before me

I'm brooding over broken nights

I break each sentence like a limb

Like a limb...

This is my exit

I storm out stage left

It'll feel like I left you, so long ago

These arms will bleed, I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting with wishful elation

Lightsleeper, you would make my gloomy day

Make this moment worth saving...
