Fireflies

"FIREFLIES (performed by Shiny to Ruby): Identifying with calculation that there is no safe place on Earth for them to be, Ruby has led Shiny to the defunct launch site where 20 years prior the artist was coldly judged, sentenced, and summarily exiled. Understanding why they have come, and flush with those memories of a life unfulfilled, Shiny seems to hem and haw between staying to fight alongside Ruby, Osirah, and Nighthawk for a better world, or to leave for the simple reasons of his own personal safety and happiness." (ATUM story notes)

 

Lyrics

We stand on clover shield
Hunted, yet unloved
Seasick as one preys
Through tasteless, dray haze

I'm waiting on your fireflies
To illume your lantern bright
Pound fool, 'n penny-wise
Waiting on your fireflies
'Cause some dreams do survive
Wise, a'int I?

Daunted, 'midst ghoulish brides
Embracing on glassed sand
We should clasp hands
Come cherish where I stand

I'm waiting on your fireflies
To illume your lantern bright
Pound fool, 'n penny-wise
Waiting on your fireflies
'Cause some dreams do survive
Wise, a'int I?
