[Intro: Ed Sheeran]

And if we should die tonight

We should all die together

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father, oh

Prepare as we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky


[Verse One: Kayncee]

I just wanna run away, get as away far from this place as possible

I'm living a nightmare but I can't wake up and it's horrible

Everywhere I look all I see is what could've been

Have you ever hated yourself so much you took a blade to your skin?

I'm angry all the time, it just doesn't fucking stop

And nothing I do can send it away, you got a life that you wanna swap?

I'm gonna paraphrase Grandmaster Flash cause I'm close to the edge

And if I'm pushed any more I'm gonna fall off dead

Maybe I'd rather be dead, Vinnie reckons dead don't hurt

That sounds great cause I doubt life ahead can get worse

Maybe a piece in my mind will finally have peace

Sleep's the cousin of death but I can never fucking sleep

Maybe death isn't the answer, maybe it'll get better

Maybe I'll come out on the other side stronger forever

Maybe I shouldn't surrender, and I should stay a contender

And whatever the weather I should keep on my endeavour

But what if life doesn't improve and it finds a way to get shitter

Cause I feel like it's Me Against The World, life is cold and bitter

And afterwards is nothing, no heaven or hell

And we are just a coincidence on a planet which we're destroying as well

All I see is flames, flames everywhere

Humans destroying our home but we don't even care

I want them to die, but I want me to die more

And it doesn't make sense cause I have so much to live for...

Damn (Now I See Fire)


[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]

Now I see fire

Inside the mountain

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze


[Bridge: Ed Sheeran]

If this is to end in fire

Then we should all burn together

Watch the flames climb high into

The night

Calling out father, oh

Stand by and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky


[Verse Two: Kayncee]

The second that we're born we begin to die

We keep struggling although we know we'll never win this life

So we keep searching for that strength within to fight

Through the pain, drift for miles and try to cling to rhymes

As we write, every night, it's all we do

We drive, and we cry, but keep falling through

Still we grind, and we try, but hit a wall, we're screwed

Survive, or we die, maybe death is what we're crawling to?

When did homework become more important than sleep?

I look outside and I've begun to see a portrait of sheep

Kids are brainwashed by the endorsements they see

I thought hell began when we were morbid, deceased?

We're all addicted to something that takes the pain away

Drugs, blades, fags, booze, there's a major range

We need it, just to keep us sane today

It gets us through the rugged day, it's a great escape

We go to school to be taught how to study, not learn

Leaving thousands of pages in our minds unturned

They'll be gone by the time it catches up, they're not concerned

They've built a palace lined with hay that they wanna watch burn

I love spending a day vibing to the dopest of tunes

Running away from this life, my focus is to

Get away from these demons, don't let them get a hold in to you

These being the best years of my life is something I hope is not true


[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]

Now I see fire

Inside the mountain

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze

Now I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burn) (fire)

Inside the mountain

I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)

Burning the trees

And I see fire (hoo-oo) (fire)

Hollowing souls

I see fire (burn auburn on the mountain side)

Blood in the breeze

And I hope that you remember me


[Outro: Kayncee]

Yo

Kayncee

Don't push me man

Cause I'm close to the edge
