Lyrics The Next Curse - Slothrust, Lzzy Hale

The Next Curse

Earth’s gonna set on fire
But still I wait
Rabid with desire
But still I wait
Flames gonna kiss my back
I hope I can run faster than that
Earth’s gonna set on fire
But still I wait
Who’s gonna swallow the blaze
After the flood
Stuck inside the maze
The moss and mud
Drowning with the plants
I hope I can swim faster than that
Earth’s gonna set on fire
But still I wait
But still I wait
But still I wait
But still I wait
But still I
Yesterday when I woke up the sky was the strangest color
At first I couldn’t figure out if I was asleep or awake
The time of day was indecipherable
And suddenly I became acutely aware of my size
I went outside to see if I could find a sun or a moon
But all I could pay attention to was a feeling
Both exciting and frightening
That something was about to crack open the muted orange mess above
To save and destroy us
One at a time and all at once…
But still I wait
But still I wait
But still I wait
But still I wait
Flames gonna kiss my back
I hope I can run faster than that
Earth’s gonna set on fire
But still I wait
Drowning with the plants
I hope I can swim faster than that
Earth’s gonna set on fire
But still I wait
But still I wait
But still I wait
But still I wait
