Lyrics

fire ripping up the hillside
you’re spraying down the house
with a water hose
preservation’s what you’re about

i tried to text no reply
i tried to pray even though i
should know better
please be careful Ry

you’re roaming topanga
looking for arsonists and looters
you’re neighbors are
firefighters and shooters

i tried to text no reply
i tried to pray even though i
should know better
please be careful Ry

embers ripping over head
santa ana that’s why they fled
all around you is burning down
duck the cops no power to be found

i tried to text no reply
i tried to pray even though i
should know better
please be careful Ry

community is making rogue runs
gathering ammo and food
to the library they come
it’s wild. it’s wicked. it’s wood

Wow, powerful song. Evocative lyrics and I love the delivery. Dark and very real.

I was wondering if we had FAWMers who would be writing about the fires. It must have been just so horrific and there really are no words. I like the darkness and the starkness in your song - like after a fire. If this is a true song I hope Ry is OK. Really moving song.
