Em                          D 
What are the words that I'm supposed to say?

Your white skin, swirling fireflies.

Are they things that water can't wash away?

How can your absence leave no trace? 
Em                        D 
As I let you sink in Baltimore bay.

I drown myself deep in disgrace.

Through the silence of fireflies
