Ash In The Hills

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Used to be a season, now it feel like a spell Dry brush, hot wind, and the sky turn red as hell Longer heat waves, less rain in the hills One spark, one gust, and it spreads where it will Power lines snap, campfires stay alive A loose cigarette can turn a whole block five-alive A machine can throw a spark off a rock or a fence Then the flames run fast through the dry neighborhoods sense [Pre-Chorus] And it don't stay local It don't stay still It can jump state lines Over town, over hills Smoke in the lungs, ash on the plate You gotta move quick when the wind change shape [Chorus] Stay low, stay clear Get gone, get near Away from the heat Away from the fear Stay low, stay clear Keep your family near If the ridge start burning Don't wait, disappear [Verse 2] Seen folks packed up, still caught in the choke Roads clog up fast when the fire turn ghost Some lost lives in the rush, some lost breath in the smoke Some never got out 'cause the exit path broke That's why the warnings come loud on the phone That's why you don't play brave when the embers roll through stone Face masks, water, shoes, keys by the door Know two ways out before the first ash pour [Pre-Chorus] And it don't stay local It don't stay still It can jump state lines Over town, over hills Smoke in the lungs, ash on the plate You gotta move quick when the wind change shape [Chorus] Stay low, stay clear Get gone, get near Away from the heat Away from the fear Stay low, stay clear Keep your family near If the ridge start burning Don't wait, disappear [Bridge] Future look hotter if the summers keep stretchin' More dry days comin', more flames for the lesson But smart homes, clean land, and alerts in advance Can save more lives if we give them a chance Clear the dead brush, keep the exits known Respect the warning when the whole sky glows [Chorus] Stay low, stay clear Get gone, get near Away from the heat Away from the fear Stay low, stay clear Keep your family near If the ridge start burning Don't wait, disappear
