The Firefly and the Snake - Cloud Cult

In the middle of the night, I woke up outside the kitchen window

Staring in at a replay of my days

And something tells me I can’t come back again

From there I watched my life, I looked back on myself but didn’t recognize him

Ashamed to believe I could ever be that way

But then I watched you light a candle in my name

In the morning I awoke and came to life again

One more chance to finally make a change

You are the light of my life

Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark

Don’t ever try to cover up your howling luminescence

Though they will come and try to blow your fire down

Some lights were never meant to be turned out

When the snake sheds its old skin, it looks back on itself but doesn’t

recognize it

Ashamed to believe it could ever be that way

So it attacks it out of fear and disdain

You and I built a fire from the parts of us we never wanna see again

And we watched it burn all night despite the rain

In the morning most our dragons still were not slain

So we reached out our hands and made them friends

One more chance to finally make a change

You are the light of my life

Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, my spark

Don’t ever try to cover up your howling luminescence

Though they will come and try to blow your fire down

Some Lights were never meant to be turned out
