Silhouette moon and the lightning clashes
nobody sees her in fleeting dashes
as angry fireflies drown in the nighttime sky
Her dewdrop eyes and her satin posture
leave a cleft in an upward offer
passing someone she thought she walked by
And they are forgiving
But she is through living
She walks outside
The inside falls as she leaves
Dizzying sadness is nothing sacred
to the woman who sees the fireflies naked
as they skip to the light within her eye
Misty breathing and glowing embers
dance in her wake as she remembers
all the reasons the night air made her cry
And they are forgiving
But she is through living
She walks outside
The inside falls as she leaves
They all let go of the violet memory
and still it grabs a hold of every
thing that they once held to her for a lie
Her footsteps shatter the sanctuary
within the firefly aviary
the buzzing dissent forges a history
And all is forgiven
But still she won’t give in
She’s walking out
The inside falls as she leaves
