Prescribed Burn Lyrics

It is Friday, May 10th, 2024, 3:47 in the morning, um

Seven hours and thirteen minutes until my final project

Where I will be performing this song that I just wrote, um

This is Prescribed Burn

If I cover my ears from the noise, does it make it all go away

If I cover my eyes from the sun, does it keep me from going blind

Or just take my light away

What if we ran into the storm instead of run away from it

Watched the wall of rain draw near, electricity in the air

Should I lie and say I'm okay

Just to make sure nobody knows

Or watch my fields of green turn gray

Light a match and there it goes

And watch it

Burn

Watch it burn

And let it

Burn

Let it burn, let it burn

Before confined into the walls of a castle he didn't choose

Calcifer was a falling star Howl claims to have rescued

Did he know that he would fall, or was it just his fate

Cause now he's stuck and can't get out, carrying everyone else's weight

Oh

And still he

Burns

Yes he burns

Oh and yet he

Burns

Yes he burns, yes he burns

The snow covers the dead grass and it suffocates

I think 'til I'm numb and push all thoughts away

Spring comes around and then there's no return

Dead things don't last so it's time for the burn

You've gotta set fires to understand change

Let what's stuck inside you grow out of its' cage

Don't let them decide when it's your turn to grow

The lightning will strike and all the fields will

Burn

And you will

Grow

They will

Burn

And you will

Grow

Ooo

Ooo, oh, oh

Cause if you let the old things burn

It will let you grow something new
