G. Brenner - Brushfire Lyrics

Santa Ana's racing through my yard
Watching homes turn into flames
Wonder if my body's burning up
In a room I lay awake

Feel my skin begin to open up
Ashes filling up my chest
Death descends to right the wrong
Of a body that life gave

All my crumbling ribs disintegrate
As I break away and float
Towards a different me, a different time
Maybe there I'll feel whole

Away from all the evil men
Where a figure's form can change
Where I wear my hair a little longer
And my hips can finally sway

Where the concrete rivers fall apart
And some green begins to grow
And the air has room to breathe again
And a body can move slow

All my friends are laughing at themselves
Nobody wants to die
And he softly takes me in his arms
Suddenly I choke on smoke

And I'm stuck inside this living room
Slowly I'll decay
All the hills behind the fence are scorched
Just another average day
