“I am waking from a dream,
I am choking on a scream,
You were trying to show me something.”

Context: I am waking from a dream,
I am choking on a scream,
You were trying to show me something.
But the dark is wide and long,
The gates are closed, the crowd's all gone,
You're still shimmering and leading me on… Firefly that's what you are
Burning for me in my darkest hour
"Light breaks where no sun shines"
So shine for me tonight — firefly.
“I am a cub of a tiger; don't mistake me with a carcass eating dog.”
