lyrics

Fireflies are dancing
Weaving in my mind
A million thoughts are flying
I wish they’d die
Oh, I am so tired
21st century drain
Overload, now process, and
I got it made, but

You can’t see it
Tearing, wearing
I can feel it
Nero’s burning
I’m walking in the ashes
Drowning in the masses
Reaching for the new wine
Drink from empty glasses
And, God,
I need
Some time

Wildfires are rising
They laugh outside
The window ledge is calling
Well, we all can fly
Working for the dollar
Even as I fall
Overboard, I’m dying, yeah
I had it made, but

You can’t see it
Tearing, wearing
I can feel it
Nero’s burning
I’m walking in the ashes
Drowning in the masses
Reaching for the new wine
Drink from empty glasses
And, God,
I need
Some time

Tearing, wearing
Nero’s Burning

You can’t see it
Tearing, wearing
I can feel it
Nero’s burning
I’m walking in the ashes
Drowning in the masses
Reaching for the new wine
Drink from empty glasses
And, God,
I need
Some time
