Burnt Prarie Lyrics - Singles - Joseph Kerschbaum

The winds 

Run unhindered 

Through the fields surrounding my house. 

The winds outside twist 

Through the bare branches and leave me behind 

Holding 

A handful of myself. 

The skies above are pregnant 

With the rain they will not drop. 

The rain would be inconsequential. 

Everything in my eyesight 

Was set ablaze and left behind. 

None of this 

Can soak up anything 

Anymore 

Anyway. 

The top soil and everything below is dead. 

The seasons no longer change. 

There are no leaves descending 

And the fields are just waiting rooms 

Filled 

With patiently scorched blades of grass. 

I watched the prairie burn 

And did nothing.

I wait for a change that has already occured. 

At night I dance in the fields 

A dance of stumbling feet 

Open mouths 

And grasping fists. 

If I could sacrifice something 

I would sacrifice everything. 

Opening my arms to change 

I embrace the impossible 

And hide from ever stranger walking down these dirt roads.

Is it like this everywhere? 

Fleshless fields of amnesia and inability? 

Are there other people standing in fields 

Watching the moon rise and fall 

Appear and disappear? 

Out here the wind is the only movement 

The only thing able to leave. 

It's cold against my skin 

And reminds me of kites I once flew. 

I wasn't always like this.
