Fires burning all around ashes falling to the ground

Someone save me, set me free

The smoke it settles on my skin

Don't play with fire, you'll never win

Someone save me, help me breathe

I can see the bridges burning, the night alight with the flame

People never returning the throne unrightfully claimed

And I been lying awake, trying finding my place

Do I stay quiet while I try and find my escape

Denying my fate, avoiding even minor mistakes

To those tip toe-in just know it that I can relate

And I been shying away, if I rely on my brain

I'm slicing my brakes, so that I can drive in this lake

I'm sick of fire walking. And damn if I don't get tired talking

Bout the same problems, but that's just how I have tried to solve them

And it's obvious that I am just prolonging the odds of it

Out of it, tryna get some sense of empowerment

But the demons are louder than anything I've encountered

Leave me a coward for these flames to just eat and devour

Feeling so powerless but I just won't stay down for the count it's just not allowed im not to proud to reach out for the balcony when theres

Fires burning all around ashes falling to the ground

Someone save me, set me free

The smoke it settles on my skin

Don't play with fire, you'll never win

Someone save me, help me breathe

But there's nobody coming, no one else who is stopping this

Till a spark can unite us, disseminate through the populous

Need a leader to guide us, and I don't know who the option is

But I'll be there beside em, and we won't slow till we're prosperous

And I know it's preposterous, possibly traitorous

But somebody has got to get up on here and say it

That this country of ours is just god awful in nature

But maybe all it just needs is a restart to the cradle

Because it's starting to read like a cautionary tale

About the problems that pop up when greedy monsters prevail

But we are not gonna fail, and nothing's lost till you quit

They can lock you in jail, but they can't stop an idea

They wanna alter the scripts, make you forgotten to kids

Make em believe that oligarchy is all that there is

Give it a positive spin, but we can't let em win

They aren't the only ones who can add ash to the wind

Fires burning all around ashes falling to the ground

Someone save me, set me free

The smoke it settles on my skin

Don't play with fire, you'll never win

Someone save me, help me breathe

We're burning down

We're burning down

Fires burning all around ashes falling to the ground

Someone save me, set me free

The smoke it settles on my skin

Don't play with fire, you'll never win

Someone save me, help me breathe
