“Midnight Firefly”

Johnnie had his whiskey
And his old 45
“I always carry it with me,” he said
“I will ‘til the day I die”

Some days are made for dying
Hang dark clouds up in the sky
But see how the sun is still trying
To shine through with my light?

I’m not ready for goodbye
I wanna go on livin’ tomorrow
A fire still burns in my belly
I am the midnight firefly

“Clocks keep on countin’
Do I hear the Reaper’s feet drag on the floor?
But this spirit still stirs within me
I search for the evermore

All of this life’s hard earned lessons 
What did they teach me?”
He took another shot of whiskey 
And breathed a desperate sigh

“When the Reaper comes a knocking
I’m not ashamed to say I’ll cry
Maybe I’ve had a little too much whiskey
But I hope to shoot him right between his eyes

So if you ever miss me
Looking up into that vast empty sky
Do you see that little flicker?
I am the midnight firefly”

LYRICS:

here it comes again, a crash into the page… of a future change  
the silent drift, one last shift 
the catalyst of ways - in and out of phase  

you will either way
feel all the same
in the even trade
this you come to say
might even play
the united fray

and this is the last advice, and you missed it twice, 
when its hard to believe 
and this is the lasting vice, that’s taken twice, 
when you feel all the need  

in the interleave, was it so naïve? to make believe?
here into the night, blinded by the white, 
the solo flight… can you see the light? 

you will either way
feel all the same
in the even trade
this you come to say
might even play
the united fray

and this is the last advice, and you missed it twice, 
when its hard to believe 
and this is the lasting vice, that’s taken twice, 
when you feel all the need  

and this is the last advice, and you missed it twice, 
when its hard to believe 
and this is the lasting vice, that’s taken twice
when you feel all the need

Twice

ON THE VERGE:  The Day You Were

this is the day, when you were led to stay
left to hold your own

and in the way, the past you can not play
with your part that is sold

to amend, tape me your shreds
and you feel the whole

like you said, bring me your head
to your hello

you and me, you and me
you and me, you and me 
you and me, you and me 
you and me, you and me  
you and me 

this divide, as long as it is wide
is not yours alone  

come to find, take what is mine
a distance you know
