I want you to be my forest fire. A natural disaster to incinerate the tall standing regrets of my past. Casting the darkness over the people I've taken advantage of and things I'' never admit to be true. Expose my shadows. Cleanse the dirt I have trampled upon. Lake Tanner, I'm sorry. Mom, I'm sorry. People whose footsteps molded my heart into a perfect sandcastle bomb waiting for high tide. Renew my inners. Heat up these lungs so I an no longer speak. Burn memories into my throat, That way my heart understand a new beginning. Building empires of renewed crowns in my smile. Exhaust my lies. Let me regrow into something pure. Away from the broken forest of my past. Exposure into something more than myself. Water my roots, Watch me take flight from this earth.

I want you to be my forest fire. A natural disaster to incinerate the tall standing regrets of my past. Casting the darkness over the people I've taken advantage of and things I'' never admit to be true. Expose my shadows. Cleanse the dirt I have trampled upon. Lake Tanner, I'm sorry. Mom, I'm sorry. People whose footsteps molded my heart into a perfect sandcastle bomb waiting for high tide. Renew my inners. Heat up these lungs so I an no longer speak. Burn memories into my throat, That way my heart understand a new beginning. Building empires of renewed crowns in my smile. Exhaust my lies. Let me regrow into something pure. Away from the broken forest of my past. Exposure into something more than myself. Water my roots, Watch me take flight from this earth.
A forest fire starts new life.
