Chokin' (The Fire Sermon)

from Two Brothers and a Ghost by Flagland

/

lyrics

A parallel timeline in which Oswald grows up to be a musician in New York, the city of doors. As he grows in popularity something begins to bother him, a distant memory of something lost. He can't put his finger on it, but he feels anger inside. He starts writing songs about it.

Everybody gets to go home
At the end of the show.
Everybody gets to walk away,
Because to you it’s just a story.
But you’re not wearing the ghost of yourself
Like a stone around your neck,
Choking.

Everybody wants to be real.
But what’s that inside you, can’t you feel?
Everybody thinks they’re insane.
But that’s just the fire inside you that comes out when you scream.
So scream fire.
Fire.
FIRE.
