[Verse 1 – harsh] They planted a forest inside my ribs Told me “Don’t let it burn” Stacked the branches high with shame Then blamed me for the turn Every spark was discipline Every flame was “care” They poured gasoline in secret Then said I lit the air [Pre-Chorus – half harsh] I tried to swallow smoke I tried to breathe it clean But fire doesn’t ask permission It just eats what it’s been seen [Chorus – clean with grit] You planted the fire Then called me the blaze Built me from matches Then cursed the flame Now I’m ash in your lungs And heat in your veins You don’t get to fear What you fucking made [Verse 2 – harsh blast] The wildfire broke containment Climbed the hills of bone Every memory dry as timber Every nerve a drone They screamed “You’re out of control!” As the skyline turned red But you don’t get surprise When you strike the match instead [Breakdown – crushing] Burn it down. Burn it clear. Let the forest lose its fear. [Bridge – clean rising] If I am fire Then I am light If I am fury Then I survived the night [Final Chorus – layered clean/harsh] You planted the fire You watered the spark Now I’m the blaze That swallowed the dark Don’t ask for mercy Don’t ask for grace You don’t get safety From what you create
