Fire Season, Pt. 2 Lyrics

We made a home and it went up in flames

But our bodies are something the fire did not claim

On that day

We were just making plans to stay

And then our house burned down while everything changed

Y'all

I said I'm not the same

I see my home when I see yours in flames

I know the stench of that building is putrid

I know exactly how corrosive the soot is

But what it means to have to dig through that rubble?

To find your loved ones when most of us would just run?

The whole world is a Palestinian struggle

We want the freedom to stay where we're from

And the freedom to move, and stay human

All these images that we have been consuming

Are not meant for us to grow numb to 'em

Or to normalize the death of these children

I'm quite convinced by these current events

That genocide happens when we sit on the fence

And rebelling against it is just what makes sense

By any and all means

For the love of humanity

Outside of a war zone I don't know what's reality

When the soul of my soul needs time to mourn family

And they don't even get a minute to rest

From Gaza to the West Bank

Congo to Sudan

Tigray to all around my Mothers homeland

When the skies light up

You just lost your plans

And nothing makes sense

You go as fast as you can

These bombs left deep scars in the land

I don't know how it heals

I don't know if it can

I just hold these stories like seeds in my hand

May you grow, from the soil of our souls

The roots run deeper than our toil on these roads

May you grow into freedom for us all

We watch the world fall as these embers glow

With faith in a tomorrow that we may not know

The phoenix that is us

From the ashes of our homes
