Bioluminescent

We're writing music, we're writing music

Um, should we do it again, or is it gonna, like, like over-override it

It-it-it, it-it loops for awhile so you can, like, just keep going

Ooohh-ah-ooh hee-ah-heyayay

(In the dark, uh, live forever)

Glow in the dark, I will live forever

Glow in the dark, I will live forever

My soul will depart, but I will live forever

Glow in the dark, I will live forever

I only ever see the night time

Feels like I live in the North Pole

My soul shines like a night light

It will keep glowing when my corpse's cold

I am airborne like a firefly

Longing for a swarm I can call my own

Eyes latch onto the skyline

Only touch the ground if it's soft as the winter snow

I can only fall asleep to rain sounds

My dreams are as vivid as Yōsef's [יוֹסֵף] coat

Hovering right above a sleepy town

My ideas have a life of their very own

Permanence is something I have never found

Anytime I dare to venture outside home

Only truth's in this life are born of love

Can we admit that before we burn the globe

The collective inhale and sigh

The laugh and curse

The return to our roots in the dirt

And tears like running water

Learning to see the light of tomorrow

Just filtering through the trees

We are so small compared to this mountain (I will)

But we keep going, nonetheless (I will)

Like moss climbing on stone (I will, I will)

Encouraged by the hum of a renewed belonging (I will)

And the chirping of some small hopeful thing (I will, I will, I will, I will)

What could be better than this

(I will, I will live forever)

Glow in the dark, I will live forever

Glow in the dark, I will live forever

My soul will depart, but I will live forever

Glow in the dark, I will live forever

What could be better than this

Working towards the same thing

That even if we go back to pushing boulders tomorrow

Today, our arms are swinging free

Ready to steady ourselves when we stumble

Or help each other up when we fall

And then my therapist brings me back down to Earth

Tells me to take a deep breath

Focusses me on the things I can change versus the people I cannot

Reminds me that she too is a first-born child of immigrants

Reminds me that I am not alone on this mountain

Reminds me that there is no summit

Maybe the journey is how we heal

Ooohh-ah-ooh hee-ah-heyayay

Ooohh-ah-ooh hee-ah-heyayay

Ooohh-ah-ooh hee-ah-heyayay

Ooohh-ah-ooh hee-ah-heyayay

I will- I will

(And, I'll just sing to the, to the mic, oh sh-)

I will, uh, uh

(Just, like, something, you know)

I will, I will live forever
