They hold inside their minds
A swarm of fireflies
That trail the starlit skies
While they sleep tight
They sing new melodies
To ragged poetry
They taste how their love
Has changed with time
See it burn
See it hurt
See the sweetness and warmth
Colours fade into gloom
Until they dream anew
And they taste every drop
And they stay
They stay for more
Days in summer sweat
The sun in copper hair
The autumn surprises
They make their guesses
Spring tells them stories
Of new beginnings
And cold winter nights
When they long for touch
See it burn
See it hurt
See the sweetness and warmth
Colours fade into gloom
Until they dream anew
And they taste every drop
And they stay
They stay for more
Roses turn to dust
The shade of drying blood
They melt and fall to earth
And wait to be whole
They reach for their weapons
They take their knowing aim
They know how to tear
What's built with their hands
And they taste every drop
And they stay
They stay for more
