about

Inspired by I Saw A Man, by Owen Sheers.

lyrics

Fire and forget, turn and walk away
But now it’s just regret & longing for that day
For the sun to rise and greet the skies
Erase it from your mind
Rewrite all the lives
Fire and forget, watching through a screen
Destructive, distant, dead.
Decision done for real
Real enough to feel it now,
to know a loss of life
Twisted wreckage from the power
See the screen turn white
Rewrite all the lives
Fire and forget, what is left behind?
A butterfly effect moving through our lives
Wings beat distantly
Stinging like a bee
Live and re-live
Find it hard to forgive
Live and re-live
Find it hard to forgive
Find it hard to forgive
Fire and Forget, turn and walk away
But now it’s just regret & longing for that day
For the sun to rise and greet the skies
Erase it from your mind
For the sun to rise and greet the skies
Erase it from your mind
Rewrite all the lives
Rewrite all our lives
