SINTAX.THE.TERRIFIC - Firefly Syndrome lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

Yo, bear my black underbelly to the wind

I got an itch I can't scratch between my thorax and my abdomen

Lit my tail end with the fire to give us purpose

But I'm cursed by this short circuit below the surface

Nervous when I glow 'cause I always go dim

Like the breath of a torch light suffocating without oxygen

Wanna burn bright so the kids can catch a spark

Illuminate the space between grace and broken hearts

Inspire the human race to chase something set apart

The sky of firefly as I blow by to split the dark

But the spark fades and the blaze burns cold

Left most of the children with nothing to hold

Except the grip of what they thought they had caught

but came to doubt

I tried to firefly but in the end just flickered out

Six limbs, two wings, one vision to shine bright

But my city on the hill just spilled into the night

[Chorus x2]

I wanna fill the sky with fire when I fly

Higher than the heavens just a twinkle in your eye

I walk the tight wire just to serve my own desire

I tried to firefly but in the end just flickered out

[Verse 2]

Escape the thin pocket of air beneath my Nikes

Might the night flicker bright to the beat of my wing flight

Or it might just not fall off the blown spot

Cat walk in the dark to the down beat

To the uprock quick to the don't stop

Talk love but spit hate

Don't do what I wanna do with every move I make

Cause I shake with my left and I take what I write

Speak life with my lips but then diss on the Mic

I'm swift to be angry but then I'm slow to be quiet

The trouble with the puddle of my life is double sided

So I struggle to keep the purpose of the lamp of my life lighted

Keep this lightening bug plugged with the Christ till I'm like-minded

Till I burn with the fire than inspires the world-wided

And glide upon the spark of the sun till dark's blinded

And dart till dawn upon the lawn to be reminded

That our faith isn't gone but sometimes we can't find it

[Chorus x3]
