lyrics

From the waters I crawled out awake
Although not all I create is great
I know I've made some mistakes but
Until I'm dead weight what I create is for me
So naturally, it occurs to me: no concern to me if you were displeased with the last EP
Oh, I recall that on the day she took off
She said, "Why don't you go write a song?"
Well, she ain't entirely wrong
But it's pronounced "masterpiece"
Repeat it after me
I'm a disaster seeking relief

Oh and the worst thing is not that she's gone
No, I'm okay that she's gone
But it's thinking that I thought I was wise
I'm dumb
I've hurt those I love on purpose for what?
Make me feel better off?
No matter, because I was stupid and wrong

But I
I'll be fine
Oh I just need some time
'Cause unlike a rose that wilts
Honey, I ain't standing still
Here I go
Watch me shine
Firefly

And on the day I'm dead & gone, I ain't done
Yes, I'll shine like the sun
Neon constellation
But you can't love anyone who will not love themselves
No one else
Stuck in a psychotic, self-destructive type of Hell
Better yourself

The worst thing is not growing old; it's losing hope
But I know I can do better
We can do better
But if you fail to see what we could possibly be
Then that's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault but your own

And I
I'll be fine
Oh I just need some time
'Cause unlike a rose that wilts
Honey, I ain't standing still
Here I go
Watch me shine
Firefly

Let love radiate your soul, and reflect it unto all
Radiate your soul, one and all
