Fireflies lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Grieves)

[Verse 1: Slug]

It doesn't matter who you are

You're just another superstar

Everybody gets to shine at the hotel bar

With the fireflies that fell in the jar

Ain't even trying to get free

Buzzin' around is fine with me

That's why I keep one eye on the clock

The other eye on my drink

Make it link like a lock, the timing is key

Got my hands tied up still climbing this tree

So can't none judge what my crisis might be

Everything will even out when I finally sleep

Tipsy dreaming about being a pirate at sea

Huh, I hear the sirens singing for someone else to listen

Got me thinking I avoided a bullet

But a lot of my vision was under blurry conditions

I watched from the top of a volcano of bullshit

Which came first, the thirst or the curse?

Most can't distinguish which one is worse

Bartender in the tuxedo shirt, with the sleeves rolled up

Cause she's seen enough dirt, whatever

Look, I don't know if the ocean is close but

I'mma keep going til I no longer float

Aight, So quit trying to micromanage my emotions

Keep the glass half full or keep the tab open

Last call for alcohol protocol

The television that's attached to the wall

It show a basketball game with the volume off

And I don't know who's playing but I know I'm not

It goes

[Chorus:]

I feel like a firefly

I chase all the fireflies

I feel like a firefly

I chase all the fireflies

[Verse 2: Grieves]

It doesn't matter what you think

Either way it's all relative

The buzzing from the neon lights

Is like a sedative, I follow it

Into outer space like an Apollo ship

Coasting off the bottom shelf booze and the klonopin

I'm lost, wrote my room number on the fob

Put a dollar in the jukebox, ordered up a shot

Now everything is frozen just floating flickering dots

As we fade into the night without ever giving it thought

But that's the idea, we don't come for the atmosphere

The food's shitty, the cable's blurred but I'm happy here

We're all alone but ain't nobody keeping tabs there

Cause misery's a meal that's served better with a glass of beer

Yeah, so fill it up and let me sulk

Smelling like whiskey and complimentary soap

It's the same four bars in every city I go

Surrounded by fireflies just trying to find their glow

[Chorus:]

I feel like a firefly

I chase all the fireflies

I feel like a firefly

I chase all the fireflies
