about

This isn't a "solo acoustic" version, it's a duet with Bryan Beller playing one of those big Taylor acoustic bass guitars. While I stayed true to my guitar parts from the "Any Raw Flesh?" version, Bryan got creative and came up with all sorts of counterpoint melodies. Because that's the kind of god that Bryan is.

lyrics

A perfect picture
I liked your face the best
And into your bed I fell to rest
I didn’t see your eyes so cold
Eyes that were so cold

Even now I face you through the wall
Tight the lid of the killing jar
Warped the light and blurred the scars
Still, I think you’re smiling

Oh, like a firefly
Shine my love to you
Oh, to a firefly
Even you’re a god

Crystal clear
The words you said to me
Now there’s no more air to breathe
“You once meant more to me,
now I couldn’t care less.”
Couldn’t care less…

You can be loved
You can be one with me
You can be loved
I will be your firefly
