Fire Lyrics by Riley Given

2021

[Verse 1: Riley Given]
We knew this day would come
Been warning you for years but you didn't listen
Listening's the key to most of the world's problems
Don't mean to put the blame on anyone
But I think there's someone who could have saved us
Who did nothing

I don't mean to get political
But just because I'm young doesn't mean that I can't
I wonder would things be different
If you were a strong independent black woman
Would any of this even happen?
Could we have stopped it?

[Pre-Chorus: Riley Given]
The world's on fire, do you hear us now?
Well it doesn't matter, it's too late
Our sound is buried
Under a billion flames
And our arms are tired from reaching out
We're burning out, we'll never be saved

[Chorus: Riley Given]
It's coming for all of us
And it's running after everyone we care for
Everybody knows somebody
Who's had to leave everything behind
'Cause it's falling from every corner of the sky
And we're waiting for our time to die

Call a friend
Call a neighbor
It won't be long before it's all over
Say good-bye
'Cause soon there'll be nothing left but fire

[Verse 2: Riley Given]
The skies are glowing red (Red)
They're saying we're gonna be fine so I turn on a movie
But I can't get out of my head (Head)
'Cause honestly I'm terrified

And I'm asking myself what would I bring
If I had to grab my stuff and go?
I haven't thought about it enough to know

You all thought this would happen
From zombies, didn't you?
They even made shows about it
But we were the ones who really knew

While you were sitting on your couches
Playing video games about this
We were fighting for prevention
So this tragedy wouldn't happen
We'll watch our rage burst in

[Pre-Chorus: Riley Given]
The world's on fire, do you hear us now (Do you hear us?)
Well it doesn't matter, it's too late
Our sound is buried
Under a billion flames
And our arms are tired from reaching out
We're burning out, we'll never be saved

[Verse 3: Siena Staunau]
2020's been a hell of a show
I'm glad it's over, though
And maybe it's not how we planned it would go
But how much can we handle?
Can we take any more?
At least it can't get any worse than this
If we make it out alive
Then we'll be stronger than any generation
That there ever was before us

I can feel my time coming to an end
And the last thing on my mind are my friends!

[Chorus: Riley Given]
It's coming for all of us
And it's running after everyone we care for
Everybody knows somebody
Who's had to leave everything behind
'Cause it's falling from every corner of the sky
And we're waiting for our time to die

Call a friend
Call a neighbor
It won't be long before it's all over
Say good-bye
'Cause soon there'll be nothing left but fire
Nothing left but fire

[Verse 4: Siena Staunau]
Feel the fire getting closer
And the heat get a little warmer
And the smoke get a little bit stronger
See the fire defeating the water
Feel the walls start closing in
We'll never see anything like this hopefully ever again
Take it in!

[Verse 5: Riley Given]
Power's out
Skies are yellow
Parents say "get it together'
Ashes falling, fires raging
It's the apocalypse

Got me surrounded
Orange lights start to flicker in the distance
No way around this
And I whisper to my boyfriend
I will miss him

[Verse 6: Siena Staunau]
Wish I could hold the ones I love
But I'm too young to be around them
And I don't have the control yet
To make my own decisions
But I need a hand to hold
And I know that mine is needed too
But there's nothing I can do

[Verse 7: Riley Given]
So now I've gotta let you burn
Though I know it hurts us both
I never wanted to let you go
But now your ashes are falling like snow
