Light it up
Make the sky explode
Into color and smoke
The ashes will wash away
You whisper
That nothing's irreversible
So I should be untouchable
Scratch that, rewind
I'll say it better next time
As fireworks fall
Like shooting stars,
So I wish
Please take care of me
On brilliant falsity
All flash and noise
So I close my eyes and say:
"Come on and fill me up
With something real
Or something brave
Or something."
Clean it up
So much for afterglow
We are flesh and bones
And victims of everything
So whisper
If this is so incredible
Too bad we're not responsible
For what we say
When our eyes aren't open
As fireworks fall
Like shooting stars,
I wish
Be aware of me
On burned up chemistry
All flash and noise
So I close my eyes and say:
"Come on and fill me up
With something real
Or something brave."
I say:
"Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
With something real
Or something brave"
I say:
"Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
Come on and fill me up
With something real
Or something brave
Or something"
