“World On Fire” is the seventh song off RIELL’s upcoming album, Hymns For The Bitter, and it’s mainly based off RIELL’s experiences of living in America, as well as the general state of the world.
[Verse 1]
I never leave the house, here's to my twenties
Never thought I'd spend this much on therapy, but
I think something wrong is going on outside
Is it just me or is the whole fucking world on fire?
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are, here we are
Here we are, we're in the thick of it
It's me myself, self and I
And all the demons in my head
If I had known, if I knew they'd end up fucking me this hard
I'd make them take me out and put it on their card
[Chorus]
I think that something wrong is going on outside
Is it just me or is the whole fucking world on fire?
Board the windows, and close the blinds
Mark the door with blood to last the night
Know there's nowhere you can hide
When the lights give out 'cause we burned it to the ground
[Verse 2]
This is not a drill
Poisoned for a thrill
We fight about things we know nothing about
Devil's not in the details, he works while we shout
You win if you're loud (Loud, loud)
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are, here we are
Here we are, we're in the thick of it
It's all for one, none for all
Will shoot a gun, won't take a hit
With all we know, never knew
We'd end up taking it this far
How big do we build until we all fall apart?
[Chorus]
I think that something wrong is going on outside (Going on outside)
Is it just me or is the whole fucking world on fire?
Board the windows, and close the blinds
Mark the door with blood to last the night
Know there's nowhere you can hide
When the lights give out 'cause we burned it to the ground
[Chorus]
Board the windows, and close the blinds
Mark the door with blood to last the night
Know there's nowhere you can hide
When the lights give out 'cause we burned it to the ground
