lyrics by stephen kuffner


there's something that i have to say
that i can't put into words
i hold my breath and fake a smile
silence tearing at my soul


do you like me at a distance?
do you know what i mean?
it's not like this even matters
i'm holding on to a dream


you are like a firefly
you would have me be a moth
i will burn my flesh in your fire
to smell your smoke on my skin


and if i am only dreaming
let me wait to be awake
fireflies can be deceiving
that's a chance i have to take


i am already dead
i am superior to my own mind
i am already dead
i will rise up.
