Wildflowers Lyrics

I used to see wildflowers' vivid royal hues

Now I smell wildfires' grey and hazy fumes

Every night I'm wired and I'm looking at the news

Our home is not a haven, it'll soon be threatened too

A firefighter faltered in the frightful big blaze

A tree fell on her forehead, consumed by thick flames

Never have I ever traveled to the Smoky Mountains

But I'm passing through the Catskills as a drought's been happening

A weekend upstate's an infrequent escape

From the constant noise of the capitalist's cityscape

Nowhere can I go to where there's danger I'm safe from

I can feel it in the sacrum repeating verbatim

Particulate matter is filling up the air

Carried by the wind from a violent, amber flare

Precipitating ashes caching over all the land

Redistributing a natural contraband

I'll wait for the rain to fall and then

We'll raise some wildflowers again
