I can feel the river rush
It's a simple stimulus that lifts me when I've given up
A wicked flux, sickly with a twisted gut
From deciphering the rea**urance that I didn't trust
This is what we needed right, steam to feed the fight
Cold shoulder to the stars because we dreamed of being meteorites
Burn, motherf**er, burn fast
I said burn, motherf**er, burn fast
It's the trickiest dichotomy, digging for the god in me
While embracing natural systems limiting my sovereignty
I am mostly water and the physics still apply to mine
So when the moon's right I feel a rising tide inside
Watch the helter-skelter as elements pelt the shelters
And the toxins in the wishes mutate the well dwellers
Hear the fall of Rome and look to see a single town
With just one flaming arrow needed to bring it down
On some burn, motherf**er, burn fast
I said burn, motherf**er, burn fast
Not a requiem sung for the past turned ash
Let it burn, motherf**er, burn fast
I've been told by river rafters that apparitions gather here
To whisper laughter at the fears of timid cavaliers
I'm slipping past, risking capture just to have a clear
Shot at witnessing the splattered crimson in the stratosphere
At last, soaking up the waning ultra-violet
Leaking through the limbs of the old growth goliaths
Yeah, greet the unknown with open eyelids
Crawdad creeping with the lunar glow as guidance
Crescent low, ebb and flow, steady on the stepping stones
In the distance echoes moan like its bloody hecatomb
I used to burn a ruby red towards human kind
But I've learned that you should do whatever helps you make it through the times
When the dawn streaks through the pitch black
And I'm no longer spooked by the crack of twig snaps
I hit the bu*te's peak and catch a view that gives me whiplash
Know that I've arrived, turn around and torch the bridge back
Burn, motherf**er, burn fast
I said burn, motherf**er, burn fast
Not a requiem sung for the past turned ash
Let it burn, motherf**er, burn fast
