What are the words that I'm supposed to say ?
Your white skin, swirling fireflies.
Darkness has surrounded Baltimore bay.
Why don't you open your blue eyes ?
Are they things that water can't wash away ?
How can your absence leave no trace ?
As I let you sink in Baltimore bay.
I drown myself deep in disgrace.

What is the price, am I supposed to pay ?
For all the things I try to hide ?
What is my fate, am I supposed to pray ?
That trouble's gone with the sunlight ?

A warm sun rises and ignites the bay.
I come back home and start to cry
I'll never come back to Baltimore bay.
Try to forget the fireflies.
What are the words that I'm supposed to say ?
If someone knew about this lie ?
If your body rises to the surface ?
Through the silence of fireflies...
