Dumpster Fire

[Verse 1] First little flame in a garbage pile Everybody laughed for a little while Kicked some dirt Took a photograph Called it ugly and let it last But heat has memory under the mud Smoke keeps secrets better than blood By the time the black sky split It had a mouth and a name for it [Pre-Chorus] I saw it crawl I saw it learn I saw it carry What would not burn [Chorus] God damn the dumpster fire Look what learned to breathe God damn the dumpster fire Came back wearing teeth God damn the dumpster fire Burning through the dream Everybody called it nothing Till it crawled upstream [Verse 2] It moved through pipes and county lines Moved through churches and warning signs Moved through throats that would not speak Moved through hands that washed too clean Now there's ash in the drinking glass Now there's black rain in the grass Now there's light under every door Now there's no outside anymore [Pre-Chorus] I saw it crawl I saw it learn I saw it carry What would not burn [Chorus] God damn the dumpster fire Look what learned to breathe God damn the dumpster fire Came back wearing teeth God damn the dumpster fire Burning through the dream Everybody called it nothing Till it crawled upstream
