man I been waiting for something like this from yall

The world is burning, and I'm not even sure how it started
I heard some person spilled the midnight oil onto the carpet
Of their apartment - others say an arsonist sparked it
Some even swear that it's been there since Adam fell from the garden, but I
Know that's a myth cuz I was in that crowded theater
When somebody shouted "fire" and no one around believed her
We were cave dwellers - sitting comfortably
Till I saw my shadow start to flicker on the seat in front of me

We watched the city being charred, and passed incinerated cars
Power lines alit like C-beams that glitter in the dark
And from above you could witness amber threads cover each district
On the CNN feed like they were written in the stars
They said riot vans were supplied to each fireman
And hired hand who tried and tried again without a fighting chance
So now we're out the frying pan and into the fire
And each day it's like I'm trapped inside a cigarette lighter

Since that night I've changed - I quit romantic interactions
Cuz it felt a little tactless to be having Tinder matches
Runnin' into old flames'd just be a drag if it happened
Kicked the habit - and don't forget the risk of getting gaslit
These days, Steam games I've just been avoiding
My temper is like embers and my blood's always boiling
Wearing flared jeans is sorta fine, blazers might be borderline
Sears in short supply, I hear they're under-employing
Despite the deaths I'm abandoning rituals like candlelit vigils
I've never been less keen to use my Amazon Kindle
Our panicked officials may as well be a man with a fiddle
Who does nothin' but stand in the middle of Rome as it burns

Their plans are all wishful, they say so many words
They're understanding and civil, and then they vote to adjourn
Their only concern that they don't just totally shirk
Is when they open their purses for brokerage firms
I know, that's absurd - and now we're seeing folks selling merch
For purchase with cutesy slogans that you can throw on a shirt
Like how adulting in the midst of an inferno's the worst
I heard a talk show host's selling fire-themed frozen desserts

Meanwhile the radio reports conditions improving
Cuz look, this crematorium owner says business is booming
A former friend's a flame skeptic, he says evidence is weak
Cuz you can't ever just believe the shit on MSNBC
I'm worried for him but I'll be the first to admit
For a disbeliever, he's certainly quick at burnin' a bridge
People's takes have gotten blazing hot - and if you make a blog,
You can say anything and get shared by a Facebook mom
Fake or not - like "fire alarms are government tracking machines"
Or "how to get the perfect smokey eye naturally"
Or "grow sage 'n' rosemary for homemade potpourri
To mask annoying gas leaks while you Postmates groceries"

Okay, so can we just skip to the epilogue?
I'll even leave a nice review of it up on Letterboxd
Forget the plot, forget the scent of scorched pines and oak
Forget the sight of the horizon cloaked in plumes of rising smoke
Pretend we never saw the sky turn the colour of blood and honey
Like a flame spirit drunkenly swallowin' up the country
As hundreds of tongues consume any inquisitive moth
Its voice a hiss when it talks, on trails of igneous rock
I thought fire was a gift till I saw it melt the ice caps
So Prometheus, i 'preciate it but send it right back
And now I'm rambling - shit, I've been lettin' my mind stray
When I got chores to handle and there's still ash in my driveway
They say if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen
But now my kettle's makin' sounds, the fumes are cloudin' my vision
So till the ground is extinguished and we've doused the whole world in rain
I've got no choice but to learn how to live life in eternal flame

the world is burning

Lyrics:

[Intro: Chris Wright]

Bright lights, 
Can’t help feeling this a zeitgeist
Out here living up a fine life, 
Got me feeling like
Got me feeling like

[Hook: Atwood & ibrahim]
Got me feeling like it's paradise 
I been running there like all my life
Got me feeling like it's paradise 
I been running there like all my life
Got me feeling like it's paradise
I swear I'm right about there
All my life I wanted shine somewhere
Got me feeling like it's paradise
I swear I'm right about there
All my life I wanted shine somewhere

[Verse 1: Atwood]
Running through lines like a running back
If you don't get it then run it back
Ay
I did that shit that I shouldn't have
Shh, got me shushing them 
They all be acting so suss I swear 
Yeah
Run it out
Run it out
Spit on a track til it's running out
My verses all lookin stand up
Yo verses all lookin run down

I might fly I might spike this shit
I wonder what kinda life I'll live, like what is this
To the sky with the heights I'll hit
I shine bright on some high beam shit, in the distance
(×2)

[Bridge: RYCE]
Said if you reaching for the skies put your hands up
Said if you reaching for the clouds put your hands up
Said if you reaching for the stars put your hands up
Said if you want your paradise put your hands up

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Headhaunter]
I ain't in this game just to wait up
Wait here for Fate just to change up her make-up
Make up a brand new state where I wake up to Paradise Inc. fresh ink on my pay stub
w-w-w-wade upwards through the swamp, saying curse words with these large weights on my arms
Just to get to paradise like a parasite, take a bite if the pear is ripe or not
Errant knight that walks in a paradox
Wears his blood caked pair of socks
They can't bear to watch him bear the burden, barely heard the bear burst in through the brush
A brush with death, a burgundy dipped brush
Out the thicket with thick cuts, fucked up
Gotta think of way to get up those rungs
Rung the doorbell, wrung out blood, jump up

[Bridge]

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Chris Wright]
Can’t lie I’m the losing type
Shit, I’d hit it raw more but I’m too precise
I don’t know about a wave, but the movement’s tight
Got a short leash, but you know I’m super nice
I might hang ten when I’m bored
Girl called, phased in and I scored
Blame my phrasing and my vocal chords
No explaining why they closing doors
I’m like two shots down from a confidence boost
Trynna wake up every morning just to walk in a booth
When I’m mad at the mic, know we talking it through
This my first love, better never letting it loose
So as long as I got this microphone, 
and this pen in hand, I’m the light of Rome
Not a sinning man, I’m the rightest wrongs
Got a place in paradise, right at home

[Bridge]

Lyrics:
I've been in love with her, and I'm sure, she's been in love with me/
inside year or so long day dreams, it seems the deleted scenes had made up our life/
we were in freak flash floods that swept both of us off our feet, but it all/
panned out, hoping nobody seen that we made out under the rug/
had the trips to the moon and then fun in the sun, concerning us, we'd never shut up/
about one another, but-but the thing was ironic, could never quite untie our tongues/
I was drunk and honey-bee buzzed in a first class seat to ride/
upwards to fantasy you'd hear my cartoon drawn heart off-beat/

we flew over prismatic seas, surrealistic scenery/
she took my hand and began to speak of job opportunities that she reached/
she would be oh so far away from me, but I could never make her refuse/
something, that dear to her so, I told her that it was all "great, you should do it/
we'll be more than fine I will promise, cross my deflated heart being honest/
not a sob story that we were dropped in, there's just a lot here to process"/
so we talk-talked as the dust settled, watched the ceiling ripple on rose petals/
shell-shocked, watching the sun melt upon the dash, foot light on the pedal/

She took her jet-pack and she went, 
beyond the stratosphere, but still sends/
texts to me throughout turmoil
and gets a smile on my face again and again/
we're togetherish but at least we're together
and we're still daydreaming scenes/
no director in, but we film on set
even though we go and paint green on screens/
she's so far away but I feel so close to her, may just be real/
no phantom pain, but phantom pleasure and of course I'm set on making a sequel/
radioactive dirt, I could plant a seed that became a tree/
because I've been in love with her and I'm sure, she's been in love with me/

Togetherish

Lyrics:
Lost here without any weapon, the fog cleared in seconds
presenting the all feared colossus of legend and folklore/
that most thought was bogus
approaching the public eye's focal point/
photos show all the valleys and peaks of the titanic features
that I can't believe, even though I stand in its company/
cursed with a jaw that won't close, coupled with two legs buckling/
it just emerged from the ocean, covered in/
seaweed and capsized boats
it's lumbering up on to shore with a great maw that roars
with the force that could take your bewildered face off/
see fissures on its teeth that secrete lava
we're all gone, just log it and jot down/
all of the things that make it too strong to kill
as it toys with the buildings it stomps at will/
they just deployed the payloads
dropping their miniature mega-tonne bombs/
halos form on the exo-skeleton
but they're barely making dents with the blows that they throw

the sun starts burning brightly
the prelude to some untimely end/
the fog recedes entirely
streets engulfed in a fiery breath/

F16's start to scream as they fly by
oil leaks out of a claw gouged tanker in high tide/
wide eyed anger and panic with 'end is nigh' signs
bright ideas run finite, you could surmise the event with a whimper/
a battle wherein there lies one victor
It's simple, we brought this upon ourselves/
the fog that held that monster that's swatting a helicopter
is the same damn fog that we thought concealed/
all our wrong doings and all evil
each inhumane action we watched unveil/
each innocent creature that we shot and killed
every little bit of malice that we got instilled/
I walk through the soft city's hard entrails
in a shadow that stretches right off the scales/
it reared its ugly head with a breath
that blew the red Horseman of Death shaped clouds asunder
with a blue shockwave too loud for the space above it/
it moved in a circle and turned to face me
I viewed upwards as my innards were whirling to gravy/
nowhere to escape it, two giant bonfires
and a mountain range of teeth in a face that seems too happy to take me/
claws ripped through storefronts, tore trucks in half
devoured planes, no airport intact/
craters created on every step's impact
sky changed to grey so fast, snapped a synapse
but no life montage chose to flash before my eyes
it's no surprise as the mouth of oblivion opened wide
I just felt the heat, in a golden light/

Intro:
Silver lines 
Don’t always shine bright
Give it time
I’ll rest when I die
Wanna find 
My way to limelight
Step aside

Verse 1 (Rekap):
They said to shoot for the stars but frown when I’m not down to Earth
Try to drag me like gravity, but I could never   be bound to dirt
‘Cause I took off when I found the words, tyin’ together some nouns and verbs
That I could turn to clout and earn respect amongst the crowd and burn
These rappers that I body who got bars basic like alkaline
‘Cause It’s asinine to challenge a mastermind in his prime
I run against the clock, just so I can pass the time
If money talks, then I’ll be flirtin' with a dime
I can never leave the game, I’ve become too devoted
Get a mattress if you're gonna sleep on me like melatonin
So until my bread is growin’ from this shit I set in motion
Imma run these tracks until my legs are broken
I used to change-up my Persona like SMT, avoidin’ who I was set to be
Not wanting anyone to think less of me
‘Till I took control of my destiny and ever since I been pedaling
For better things and I know that’s what’s ahead of me, now

Hook (Eli Noir):
Silver lines 
Don’t always shine bright
Give it time
I’ll rest when I die
Wanna find 
My way to limelight
Step aside
My shine, you won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
So don’t waste my time

Verse 2 (Atwood):
Okay I stumble on the scene looking like a whole snack (table)
You don't gotta be shy it's okay to just ask (take one)
Wondering if my mind is making shit up
Wondering why my life's never enough
When my eyes'll adjust
6 months and it still ain't hit me
I don't ever wear my goals 
Still wondering if they fit me
I bought new clothes
Got family out the ceiling
Tryna make some shit that smack like Vasily for billies
So when me and G hit the scene it's a call to action, lights camera
We accustomed to lights flashing
Southern as my accent
Finna be typecasted
I mean that's just how it is when you eye catching
Lights flash
Might crash in another whip
Bystanders distracted, I'm having another sip
Might hit a little bit of this a little bit of that right
A little bit of silver lining must be that nice

Hook (Eli Noir):
Silver lines 
Don’t always shine bright
Give it time
I’ll rest when I die
Wanna find 
My way to limelight
Step aside
My shine, you won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
So don’t waste my time

Verse 3 (Thiago):
When I let my soul glow
I’m just tryna make a wave, they say I showboat
I had some people turn on me that shit was so cold
But they be living in a bubble, that's a snow globe
Now if you don't know
Well I was feeling weathered down
I got my things together now
with this music I let it out
They talking shit well what about it
seems like I’m doing good without em
Going right through, no way around it
Inside the dark where I was found
How many times? Ain't even counting
They say shoot for the stars so i'm pulling up on Jimmy Fallon
Lights, camera, action, better gimme that shit
Wanna shift the axis, they say pick a pattern nah bitch
I want my cake and eat it too with some milk no tit for tatting
It's a sunny day, why you stay inside?
You feeling stuck in place, why you wasting time
Ill advised, dumb thoughts, who you tryna vilify
You a young god, they should a build a shrine
Feel the shine, silver line

Hook (Eli Noir):
Silver lines 
Don’t always shine bright
Give it time
I’ll rest when I die
Wanna find 
My way to limelight
Step aside
My shine, you won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
So don’t waste my time

Lyrics: 
Don’t try to live your life through me 
You’ll live with everything that you regret
Be ashamed if you want if you want that is your choosing 
I just want to live and forget, the war I went through 
The abuse by your hand, the napalm that rained
in my forests when you're violent and mad 
Yeah I could break the cycle to pieces of glass
Bleeding from my feet, bitch I'll turn it to sand

Looking in the wrong place
I've been fishing in a bath tub
Answer's in the ocean, that's what being sad does
Past tense, left me feeling damaged
I want to have a future I feel like I can manage
Burnout and you can see my smoke clouds
Building's gonna fall yeah it's really about to go down 
Rebuild me into newer foundations
I can't stand the planet with all of its shaking
In this earthquake, I'm at fault for my mistakes
And I've learned to recognize
Because that's how mom raised me, don't tell me 
I can't feel or that my feelings are worthless
Or that you're ashamed of me because I'm not a surgeon
Why are you mad that I'm my own person 
Why are you sad and see me as burden, I'm not the son you wanted
But I'm trying my best and I lose myself in songs to escape and forget 

Don’t try to live your life through me 
You’ll live with everything that you regret
Be ashamed if you want if you want that is your choosing 
I just want to live and forget, the war I went through 
The abuse by your hand, the napalm that rained
in my forests when you're violent and mad 
Yeah I could break the cycle to pieces of glass
Bleeding from my feet, bitch I'll turn it to sand

Why you'd break the table, to be happy is a fable
Fairy tales aren't real, reality is painful
Violence, but it's all met with silence
I hate the thought of skin being bruised into violets
I wish I could stop my crying
I couldn't ask for help, no I couldn't ask for guidance 
Riots in my head I'm hearing sirens 
I tried to be the perfect son, but it's just tiring 
Don’t try to live your life through me 
You’ll live with everything that you regret
Be ashamed if you want if you want that is your choosing 
I just want to live and forget, the war I went through 
The abuse by your hand, the napalm that rained
in my forests when you're violent and mad 
I could break the cycle to pieces of glass
Bleeding from my feet, bitch I'll turn it to sand
Yeah I'll turn it to sand, walk on my beach
Turn it to sand, walk on my beach
Past anxiety and pain you left for mama and me
Ocean wash the pain turn my nightmares to dreams 
Leave my pain behind for all the fish in the sea
Yeah just let it be, it's all c'est la vie, you can have the remnants 
You heartless machine, you can your deal blows to my self-esteem 
But you can never take what this all means to me 

Don’t try to live your life through me 
You’ll live with everything that you regret
Be ashamed if you want if you want that is your choosing 
I just want to live and forget, the war I went through 
The abuse by your hand, the napalm that rained
in my forests when you're violent and mad 
Yeah I could break the cycle to pieces of glass
Bleeding from my feet, bitch I'll turn it to sand
