"Reinventing the Firefly"

[mercutio7]

VERY tentative title. Anyways, it's been a while since I posted, so I thought I'd put Mercutio's newest song up. Hope you enjoy (it's still rough cut).
ps:If the verse seems "not-lyrical" it's because it's more of a spoken word verse. It's a super chill song. Think the last track on Mewithoutyou's new disk meets Glassjaws "Ape Dos Mil".

I like to sit with my hands folded, and watch the fake girls glow
I guess I want to steal their luminescence, and reinvent the firefly.
Can you blame me though? I just love them when their quiet...

Chorus: (I could help you melt them)
(We could make them bark like dogs)

I hate them when they tease the foreign boy, tossing their hair
side to side, like a broken ceiling fan, and giggle at his skin.
The only english the boy knows is "love" and "money"- so he chooses to love them.

(I could help you melt them)
(We could make them bark like dogs)

Must I paint you on my ceiling to make sure you stay the night?

Bridge:
I'm so so sorry dear, but when you lay naked and flayed open inside your
tanning bed; you are not at all like a pearl.
And I will open you up like a Jewlery box, over and over again; until
I find that shining little princess inside.
(And I will make you dance for me).

[mercutio7]

Mucho thanks for the kind words all. I'm definately going to be touching it up before it's done though.

I 'specially like the last three lines.

[floz2323]

This is really good, I like the imagery of the broken ceiling fan.

[OveriseFan]

Excellent.

I can see why Tariq always raved about Mercutio...

I'll definately take a listen.

P.S. I'll speak for Tariq and say he loves it. He's gone to India for a month so...

[Shatter_Glass]

Nicely done. ++++++++ vibes

It's fucking awesome.

What is your obsession with tanning beds?

[crit]

i enjoy this

[mercutio7]

It's fucking awesome.

What is your obsession with tanning beds?

haha thanks for the kind words everyone! As for the tanning beds? I think that it epitomises the American youth's (specifically female, but I gotta be pc :) obsession with their looks. What worse thing is their for young, innocent skin than a tanning bed?
