Fireflies

It doesn't matter who you are You're just another superstar Everybody gets to shine at the hotel bar With the fireflies that fell in the jar Ain't even trying to get free Buzzin' around is fine with me That's why I keep one eye on the clock The other eye on my drink Make it link like a lock, the timing is key Got my hands tied up still climbing this tree So can't none judge what my crisis might be Everything will even out when I finally sleep Tipsy dreaming about being a pirate at sea Huh, I hear the sirens singing for someone else to listen Got me thinking I avoided a bullet But a lot of my vision was under blurry conditions I watched from the top of a volcano of bullshit Which came first, the thirst or the curse? Most can't distinguish which one is worse Bartender in the tuxedo shirt, with the sleeves rolled up 'Cause she's seen enough dirt, whatever Look, I don't know if the ocean is close but I'mma keep going 'til I no longer float Aight, so quit trying to micromanage my emotions Keep the glass half full or keep the tab open Last call for alcohol protocol The television that's attached to the wall It show a basketball game with the volume off And I don't know who's playing but I know I'm not It goes I feel like a firefly I chase all the fireflies I feel like a firefly I chase all the fireflies It doesn't matter what you think Either way it's all relative The buzzing from the neon lights Is like a sedative, I follow it Into outer space like an Apollo ship Coasting off the bottom shelf booze and the kolonopin I'm lost, wrote my room number on the fob Put a dollar in the jukebox, ordered up a shot Now everything is frozen just floating flickering dots As we fade into the night without ever giving it thought But that's the idea, we don't come for the atmosphere The food's shitty, the cable's blurred but I'm happy here We're all alone but ain't nobody keeping tabs there 'Cause misery's a meal that's served better with a glass of beer Yeah, so fill it up and let me sulk Smelling like whiskey and complimentary soap It's the same four bars in every city I go Surrounded by fireflies just trying to find their glow I feel like a firefly I chase all the fireflies I feel like a firefly I chase all the fireflies
