v1:
every day the decibels seem to rise
and the flashing lights still hurt my eyes
with every siren and scream and shout
i just yearn to find a new way out

v2:
a cluttered mind is what i've got
every synapse is tied up in a knot
waiting for the surface to be smooth
that's when my situation will improve

ch:
like a firefly buzzing in the night
flying on the edge of all eternity
let the chaos melt down into the earth
all i really want is some serenity

v3:
it seems the loudest ones in the fray
are the ones with nothing to say
yet they talk till they turn blue in the face
while i wish i was floating out in space

v4:
if i could spread it all out far and wide
i might find some enlightenment inside
when every action causes a reaction
it only leads me to distraction

ch:
like a firefly buzzing in the night
flying on the edge of all eternity
let the chaos melt down into the earth
all i really want is some serenity
