Los Angeles (is burning)

Los Angeles (is burning)

Hey! I’m pushing “publish” on our new song tonight, in honor and in celebration of April 5th. I’ll be out there. I hope you will, too ✊🏼

One fine day
Devil winds
No one has to tell me
How this begins

One small flame
Shooting sparks
Everything’s a candle
But it’s still dark

We worked hard
Times are tough
We knew the fire was coming
That’s not enough

All you want
Home sweet home
Everything you dreamed of is
Gone gone gone

Los Angeles is burning
The fires are getting near
And I’m afraid to carry on
Everybody’s wondering
Where do we go from here?
Don’t ask me
I’m just along for the ride

Here we go
Round again
They’re hurting everybody to
Ease the pain

They don’t think
They don’t learn
They think the fire’s not coming for them
They still burn

Los Angeles is burning
The fires are getting near
And I’m afraid to carry on
Everybody’s wondering
Where do we go from here?
I don’t know
I don’t wanna go for the ride

I will draw deep from my well of infinite rage
And joy
And love
Water to dampen the blaze

Sick old man
Setting fires
Pouring all his gasoline
On the pyre

Ashes fall
All around
Everything is burning
But stand your ground

America is burning
The fire’s already here
And I’m not brave but I
Carry on
Everybody’s wondering
Where do we go from here?
We’re together, we don’t have to go for the ride
