Forestfire by Shashwat Bulusu

One day me and my sister had a ball
Found the motherload of our love
For colours, red, blue, green
So pristine
One by one built a forest of our own
Serpentine streets and several species of Amazon
Couldn’t beat us, if only one could judge

And then you picked a red
The goddamn sign of unnatural death
And then I couldn’t understand

So

Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire

Then the fear of death took over
The melodies of her toddler tears
I had to find a tranquilizer to subdue her
Before she awakens the rangers
I had to find a bar of chocolate that she loves

And then I heard a voice
And then I had a choice
But then I couldn’t understand

So

Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
Sleep tight little sister
Don’t look back at the forestfire
