Faira - Fireflies and Bats

What a year to die
What a year to die, my friend
Have you gotten the call I never gave you?

When you wake at night
To your baby’s cry, my friend
Do you feel indifferent to the world outside?

What a year to die
What if all I try to mend
Will break in the end
What a thought to depend on

I won’t wear your shirt
I won’T wear your shirt tonight
I’m wearing Gina’s
It doesn’t make me sad

I stopped thinking today
I thought it might help
I stopped shaving when I was nineteen

Now eight years have passed
And three lovers have left
But my friends have stayed and my body hair has

And will I survive
Will I then survive this year
Like my sisters and my brothers have
(Just a little less depressed)

Have you ever been any other age than twenty-seven?

„Since a child“ you say
„Ever since a child“ you say
And will it always stay the same for you

Do you smell those nights
Dark and damp beneath our feet
Barely seeing ourselves or the other
(Fireflies and Bats)

I do smell those nights
Everytime I pass a park
Or any other place we’ve once set foot in

When I age another year
When I turn twenty-eight
Brother, please tell me
It will stop hurting and be okay

Cause I guess I won’t die
I guess I won’t die before
Can’t say I’m scared anymore

I love you so much
