Fire and Smoke

I watch the smoke
As it reaches for the sky
It casts a shadow
As dark as a homicide

We've fallen for oblivion
Overlooked the warning signs
I've felt the heat on my skin
As the embers mirrored in my eyes

Everything's out of control
Hatred grows
It snaps like a dog at the throat
Everything's out of control
Cough and choke
Can't you see the fire and smoke

The flames will rise
Yet we'll cease to learn
What when we play with fire
We all get what we deserve

The flames will climb
As the chaos stirs
Over a voiceless cry
As we watch the city burn alive

The wind blows hot ash
Like fire flies (fire flies)
As hatred grows
It gets closer over night
The end is near
As hell falls from the sky

Everything's out of control
Hatred grows
It snaps like a dog at the throat
Everything's out of control
Cough and choke
Can't you see the fire and smoke

The flames will rise
Yet we'll cease to learn
That when we play with fire
We get what we deserve

The flames will climb
As the chaos stirs
Amidst a voiceless cry
As we watch the city burn alive

The ash falls
Like confetti
As fear celebrates suffering
It comes to devour
The heart of empathy

What are you so afraid of
And why we do burn with hate
What are you so afraid of
And why we do burn with hate

The flames will rise
Yet we'll cease to learn
That when we play with fire
We get what we deserve

The flames will climb
As the chaos stirs
Amidst a voiceless cry
As we watch the city burn alive
