Roper - Fireflies Lyrics
Blushing skin is whisperingslight of tongue, can kill so softlyVelvet lips sing lullabiesso satin sleek but still so costlyKnees weaken crumble and fallMere mortals she's had them allThis gift of sightthis glorious blightFirefliesclose your eyesThey flicker dim then dienot true stars just fading lies(Fireflies close your eyesDancing so sweetly bythen disappearing with a sigh)Far too easily distractedby this wretched curseI'm enticed and so attractedbait and trap me, perhaps worseJade brilliance emeraldliesEachglimmer must fade and dieThis gift of sightthis glorious blightI don't want these distractionsno compromise for fractionsDiminish these subtractionsfalse lights are just refractions
