Spring came crueler than winter
The sun went dim through the sky
And the birds all choked on a tree of smoke
Where the branches reached a mile high
Wont you look at the view my darling
Doesn't it look so calm
And you'd have given them an early warning
Though they meant to do you harm
Knee deep in blood with two blinded eyes
That's when his visions start
All too late he regrets his fate
Just like every human heart
I never pictured us living
Just to survive inside of a life of crime
And you were always too forgiving
But every angel falls it just takes time
See the fireflies above the river
They're not the kind we used to know
But close your eyes, see our fireflies
They'll be with us wherever we go
Don't you know I heard you crying
In the darkness where you curled
In my dreams were always dying
And it's always the end of the world
Spring came crueler than winter
The sun went dim through the sky
And the birds all choked on a tree of smoke
Where the branches reached a mile high.
