Wildfire Lyrics by Elthia
[Verse 1]
Left her letter by the vase
Mother should have been home that night
Her daughter stayed up when the wildfire came
Grabbed the note and ran for her life
[Chorus 1]
But the fire
Burned through the night, burned through the night
She breathed in smoky sunlight, hot blooded skies
[Verse 2]
Dragged worn knuckles across new doors
Begged for any news of any kind
Every first Sunday, she trekked among the low graves
Turning stone after stone for a sign
It was the fear of the beast, wildfire under her feet
Kept her awake in the night
As she cried
[Chorus 2]
“I am broken down without you
I am broken down without you
I am broken down
I am broken down”
[Verse 3]
Found the home her daughter left
Lilacs bloomed where mother wept
At night she sat on the floor
By the door
Hoping her daughter would find a way home
Still had the scars on her knees
From pleading with deities
Mother refused what she knows
As she choked
[Chorus 3]
“I am broken down without you
I am broken down without you
I am broken down
I am broken down
I am broken down
I am broken down
I am broken down
I am broken down”
