grim tales by fairy lights

we sat mesmerised, mesmerised

dancing iridescence

in your eyes like fireflies

partners in devilment
D                   Am
we grabbed each day, unafraid

broke the spell and wrecked the game

for reasons you wont say

and I just cant look away

we hide, we blame(we believed that the world would stay the same)

our illusions wont efface the pain

it remains
