Lyrics Arcane Roots

Arcane Roots

Fireflies

I wish I could sympathise

But I don't

I see you with child eyes

Never no more

How I wish it'd be dignified

But it's no use

And I'll sing for a simple life

While I swing from the noose

The noose, the noose, the noose

We're falling like fireflies

Strayed from the shore

Waiting to realise

We're caught in the storm

All of your compromise

And all of your talk

Will fade out with no surprise

And swallow you whole

Enough, enough

Delicate your innocence

Waiting for the click of design

Navigate your fingertips

Watch the apple fall from his eye

So down we came into your home

Taking all our scriptures desire

Never were you all alone

All we want's a piece of the quiet

But we're falling like fireflies

Strayed from the shore

Waiting to realise

We're caught in the storm

All of your compromise

And all of your talk

Will fade out with no surprise

And swallow you whole

So don't you feel the colours as they fade?

Ripples in an ocean of the same

Stripped of all the wonder and your name

So help me forget

Help me forget (that I'm falling for it)

Now we're falling like fireflies

Who strayed from the shore

Waiting to realise

We're caught in the storm

And all of your compromise

And all of your talk

Will fade out with no surprise

And swallow you whole

You know, you know, you know

You know, you know
