Fire from Palimpsesa by Mal Devisa

Fire in my brain
Will you make it ok?
Can you make it ok?

I sit in my room
Holding myself accountable

If this is the end
I’ve made myself breathless
With all of my worthlessness

Fire in my brain
Will you make it ok?

Does it kill you to know that we’re all dying?
It kills me to know

Fire in my brain
But I douse it in rain
Sad before churches with blood on my face

Fire in my brain
Will you make it ok?

Fire in the brain
Of those who died trying to make
Sense of the life below fire escapes

Fire in our brains
Who will make it ok?

Does it kill you to know that we’re all dying?
Does it kill you to know?
Does it kill you to know that we’re all dying?
Yeah, it kills me to know
