lyrics

My world’s on fire
How bout yours
The corner store is out of masks and won’t be getting more
The smoke is thick
But it smells good
Like campfires from childhood the smell of burning wood
There’s no escape
No insulation hey
So breathe in deep and taste the end of days

I took a trip
In search of something pure
Like trees or drugs or cleaner air
Or an existential cure
After a week
All I found
Is a strong bout of tinnitus from the nonstop blaring sound
Of playing make-believe
True party destiny
Now it’s choose your own adventure being gagged or being bound

As for me for now
I’m headed home from Tahoe and it’s

Sick how beautiful the smoke is
And we all drive along like nothing is wrong
I wish that you were here to see this
I wanna steal your two cents and your lungs’ innocence
And swallow air like a sword til we can’t take it anymore
Cause tell me which are we more scared of
Is it death or being bored

Jill takes a pranayama breath
And feels at peace with life and death
Posts an insta after class in her mask like hashtag blessed
Then calls her dad
Hey yeah I’m good but also bad
Facebook story cry emoji fifty friends tap sad
And she feels affirmed oh
In the inferno
Just cause the curtain’s burning doesn’t mean we stop the show

As for me for now
I’m headed home from Tahoe and it’s

Sick how beautiful the smoke is
And we all drive along like nothing is wrong
I wish that you were here to see this
I wanna ask you about life or rather how you wanna die
Like in your sleep an overdose or during sex while being choked

It’s fucking lit what a breathtaking sunset
And we all grip the wheel not sure how to feel
What if there was no one here to see this

This is what dreams are made of
This is what dreams are made of (Hey now, hey now)
Don’t dream it’s over (Hey now, hey now)
All that glitters is gold (Hey now, hey now)
This is what dreams are made of

My world’s on fire
And so is yours
So you better leave a record or at least a pretty corpse
Put on your masks
Get the angle right
Spin the world whatever way will help you sleep at night
My world’s on fire
How bout yours
And that’s the way we like it
Cause at least that way
We won’t get bored
