Brushfire

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 breathe again
And all bodies 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
