Fireflies

Sometimes i wonder how this path i took with deceived me

It showed me colorful branches and echoed whispers that, at the time, made me numb to reality

Like It knew exactly what i was feeling, exactly what i wanted, and lured me into a loop

That repeated, repeated, repeated

A broken disc that every time i touched, i was mocked

It's path seethed comfort and protection that i denied for so long from everybody else

And for the first time, i felt free, i skipped along this path everyday

The farther i got, the sooner i realized that i didn't know my way back to the real world

And the farther i got, the darker the path became

Before long i didn't know what it was like walking back, and then

I NEVER did

And now i sit here calling out for something that i mean nothing to

The trees are burning tonight, the crackle of the fire mocks me

And everything is crumbling before my eyes, and usually my tears would put out the fire and my own weaknesses convince me i'm okay

But i didn't cry, no

i let it burn

Because i have nothing left to lose...
