An Empress and a Firefly
The winter gliding in with ease
The darkness doesn't make me think of you any less
The winter gliding in with ease
Never could replace our memories
Lips bone dry
Never did know when I was thirsty
Alone all I am doing is hurting
An empress always remains fearless,
but this splinter has penetrated me
I just need to know you still think of me
Left on a high
Silence is the worst thing
Always more than a conquest
Loving you came easy to me
An empress and a firefly
Do you blame me for dreaming?
Be thankful you can't hear me cry
Can you blame me for bleeding?
