Firefly -

I could start a fire

Inside this belly, burning bright

All my veins light up like wires

Lambent skin cuts through the night

While the stars dim behind me

A luminescent choir

Holds court inside my lungs

Your love ~ my burning pyre

Your lust ~ my mother tongue

Now I’m burning brighter

And something in the darkness starts to shine…

Burning brighter, burning bright

Like a fire in the night

Burning brighter, burning bright

Finding friends inside the light

Something has surrendered

Something’s been set free

I could start a fire

Dancing, flaming, burning wild

With phosphorous desires

Now I’m burning brighter

And something in the darkness starts to shine…

Burning brighter, burning bright

Like a fire in the night

Burning brighter, burning bright

Finding friends inside the light
