Luminescent fireflies haunt the evening sky
As dark-wing demons take off into the night
Recognizing my own failure and admiring the sight of death
As it walks before me, robbing me of happiness, of my life and my pride
The confidence remains shattered
And love lost forever, drowned deep within the sorrow.

Days from long ago will never return
But I'll repeat this ballad
The passion in my voice will not go unheard
Place your hand in mine and I'll whisper these words
And as I see your smile
My world brightens, it is worth more than you'll ever know
Just the fact that you love me is comforting enough
But night it comes quickly,
I bid you a fond farewell
And though I wish you a good sleep
I'd rather your sleep be with me... tongight.

Though it seems I am unreasonable
My wants and request go unmet
The world views me as untrustworthy
An irresponsible little prick.
They hate me, but deep in their hearts they know
That my true image someday, will brightly shine and glow
(And I'm still holding your hand
But I'll never let go)
