FireStarter Lyrics

January 7 2025...

Santa Ana winds were howlin'

Ash fell like snow on the coast

And somewhere someone lit the match.

I saw the hills go red when the spark took flight

Ash and ember turning day to night.

Some say it's the heat others point to the drought

But there's always someone with a reason no doubt.

Firestarter what's your plan?

Is it chaos or sleight of hand?

Smoke and mirrors charred demands

Leaving ruins where we stand.

A spark in the brush a bottle left behind

Was it carelessness or a twisted mind?

The wind carries whispers no one can agree

A ghost in the flames or a rebel set free?

The line's getting blurry intention unclear

But the fire doesn't care what we fear.

Firestarter what's your plan?

Is it chaos or sleight of hand?

Smoke and mirrors charred demands

Leaving ruins where we stand.

Sirens cry as the hillsides burn

Brave hands battle but the tide won't turn.

Underfunded ill-prepared the response too slow

Decisions made by suits who'll never know.

They gamble with lives resources too thin

While nature's wrath pulls us further in.

Red skies in the morning no one can deny

The winds keep blowin' but we all wonder why.

Who's to blame who takes the fall?

Firestarter maybe it's us all.

Firestarter what's your plan?

Is it chaos or sleight of hand?

Smoke and mirrors charred demands

Leaving ruins where we stand.

Firestarter what's your plan?

Is it chaos or sleight of hand?

Smoke and mirrors charred demands

Leaving ruins where we stand.

January 9 twenty twenty-five

The flames raged on but the truth didn't survive.

A bottle a match a system stretched thin

Firestarter you'll burn again.
