about

Every once in a while, a situation arises that feels so urgent, so intense, and so out of control that time feels like it's both paused and careening forward at record speed. I wrote this song in about five minutes, and recorded and produced it in the following 48 hours. Such a timeline is unusual for me, but I felt like this song just had to GET OUT so here it is, unleashed into the world. It's a way to process the feeling of it all. It's a vessel for the energy that feels impossible to contain.

A wildfire can devastate an ecosystem. A shred of hope lies in the prospect that something new can flourish in the ashes.

lyrics

there's a wildfire
everybody please stay inside
there's a wildfire
venture out, inhale poison and die

take a deep breath
and get ready to self-destruct
everything that I give to you,
you're gonna burn it all up
you can show me integrity
and try to regain my trust
no matter how much you give to me,
it'll never be enough

you're a wildfire
and I'm caught amid the flames
overheating
and I'm starting to go insane
'cause baby, you're a wildfire
and I'm trying to survive
baby, you're a wildfire
and I'm desperate to stay alive
