TITLE: Four Chords & Fire 🔥🎸 [Spoken Intro 🌲🔥] (soft chatter, fire crackling) “Hey Dustin… play something.” “…yeah man, play that guitar.” (pause… slight chuckle) “Ain’t got much… just four chords.” (strum… slow… steady) [Verse 1 🎸] I don’t sing about heroes or how I got saved Just a man learnin’ what not to become in the flames 🔥 World got a way of bendin’ your name 🏷️ Till you forget what you carried before all the games I’ve seen doors close that I built with my hands 🚪 Watched truth get buried just to fit in their plans 🧾 But fire don’t care what the crowd understands— It just burns what’s false and leaves what can stand [Pre-Chorus 🌘] So I quit tryin’ to prove I was right Started learnin’ what’s worth the fight ⚖️ Some things you hold… will bury you slow— Some things you love… you gotta let go ✋ [Chorus 🔥] So I strum these chords like I’m settin’ it free 🎸 Ain’t about them—it’s about what’s in me 🧠 I gave it my all, even when they all missed And I’d do it again—I ain’t built to quit Yeah I walk through the fire, I don’t ask for a pass 🔥 Took every hit and I still stood fast ⚔️ If they don’t understand me, I’m fine with that— I know who I am… and I ain’t goin’ back [Verse 2 🌌] Got a boy watchin’ how I stand when it breaks 👁️ Not what I say—but the choices I make ⚖️ And a memory of love that don’t fade with time 🫀 Not something I chase—something I carry inside I ain’t here to beg for a seat at a lie 🪑 Ain’t here to shrink just to get by 🤐 Some roads get lonely when you see too clear— But I’d rather stand there than disappear 🌫️ [Pre-Chorus 🌒] So I quit needin’ them to agree That ain’t where my peace gon’ be 🧠 You can hold the world… or you can be whole— But you don’t get both… I chose my soul 🕯️ [Chorus 🔥] So I strum these chords like I’m cuttin’ the ties 🎸 No more weight from their rules or lies 🐍 I gave what I had, I got nothin’ to prove— And I’m still right here… I still move Yeah I walk through the fire, I don’t ask for a pass 🔥 Took every hit and I still stood fast ⚔️ If they don’t understand me, I’m fine with that— I know who I am… and I ain’t goin’ back [Bridge 🌑] Let go ain’t losin’… it’s seein’ it clear 👁️ What was never yours disappears 🫥 And what stays with you when the noise is gone… That’s what was real all along 🕯️ [Final Chorus 🔥] So I strum these chords, let the silence speak 🎸 I ain’t chasin’ loud—I’m just standin’ deep 🧠 If love means givin’ without control— Then I gave it all… and I kept my soul Yeah I walked through hell and I didn’t fold 🔥 Didn’t sell my name, didn’t lose my code 🏷️ They can keep their world—I’ll build my own— Right here in the fire… where I belong [Outro 🌲🔥] (strumming slows… fades)
