Lyrics The Firefly and the Snake - Cloud Cult

The Firefly and the Snake

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
