You're floating through the perfect dawn The morning dew blessing the lawns When you wake up, you run for the hills Diving off cliffsides just for the thrill Summer sun warping the pavement I used to aim light beams through a glass lens When I was young, burning garden ants Now I know what it is to feel like them But somehow I look up turning And it's still me doing the burning You're floating through the perfect streets Neighbors getting scorched to the fourth degree When you emerge from the water you sigh And witness the wildfire of my life When I was young, never had to try Said when I'm grown, I'll be alright My father is drowning in the sweat from his brow My sister is melting, no escaping this now My mother is screaming cause I burned down her house All our memories ashes, no escaping this now The mayor berates me for destroying his town I've been exiled from my home, no escaping this now Now you levitate toward me Look in your eyes and feel free Roaring flames reduced to embers All the smoke clear in November Each step you take puts the fire out Maybe we can all escape this now I can't shake the suspicion This isn't the end, just an intermission
