about

a song for our sad wizard.

lyrics

bright
they called him bright
that meant good
that meant right
proud
he made them proud
he had two friends
and they stood out

and people noticed
the people came to them
and they told them
they could be brighter

spark
his teacher lit a spark
the world was big
the world was dark

but he could light it
and keep his people safe
they taught him good
they taught him right
what’s right

lies
they fed him lies
he felt betrayed
so he cut ties

they were his family
he burned them all the same
then he broke
and lost his mind, his friends, his name

eleven years as a pit of ash
waiting to blow away in the wind
a washed-up wunderkind
circuits blown to smoking pieces
tried to leave him there
i tried to be someone different here
but no matter the mud that dries on my face
it’s cleaner than my insides

you treat me like i’m special,
someone gifted, someone good,
someone worthy, someone right
i was bright
now i’m torn to smoking pieces
no, don’t get too close
don’t you know that fire burns

good
you called me good
i’ll try to live
you said I could

right
i’ll make this right
you make me brave
i’ll make us bright

when people notice
we’ll bring the fire to them
and we’ll show them
what makes us brighter
