The Next Curse

Earth's gonna set on fire But still I wait Rabid with desire But still I wait Flames gonna kiss my back I hope I can run faster than that Earth's gonna set on fire But still I wait Who's gonna swallow the blaze After the flood Stuck inside the maze The moss and mud Drowning with the plants I hope I can swim faster than that Earth's gonna set on fire But still I wait But still I wait But still I wait But still I wait But still I— Yesterday when I woke up the sky was the strangest color At first I couldn't figure out if I was asleep or awake The time of day was indecipherable And suddenly I became acutely aware of my size I went outside to see if I could find a sun or a moon But all I could pay attention to was a feeling Both exciting and frightening That something was about to crack open the muted orange mess above To save and destroy us One at a time and all at once... But still I wait But still I wait But still I wait But still I wait Flames gonna kiss my back I hope I can run faster than that Earth's gonna set on fire But still I wait Drowning with the plants I hope I can swim faster than that Earth's gonna set on fire But still I wait But still I wait But still I wait But still I wait
