Fireflies (Rock Version Parody)

[Verse]
You would not believe the lies I see
City lights like bugs to me
Flashing sparks in the choking night

[Prechorus]
I’d rather stay awake
Fight the dream
Cuz sleeping’s not as real as it seems

[Chorus]
Ten million fireflies burn me alive
Blinding my eyes
I can’t survive
I’d rather stay awake
Than let my mind break
Ten million fireflies—they sting
They bite

[Verse 2]
Fingers trace the scars in the sky
Neon veins where the angels cry
Concrete cages
Steel wings
Trapped flight

[Prechorus]
Can’t trust the glow
It’s just a scheme
Everything here’s bursting at the seams

[Chorus]
Ten million fireflies burn me alive
Blinding my eyes
I can’t survive
I’d rather stay awake
Than let my mind break
Ten million fireflies—they sting
They bite
