Future Friend – Larkin Grimm

I find this such a beautiful song and have listened to it every day for some time and it speaks to me deeply. Hope it speaks to someone else.

LYRICS

(we’re going to build a fire)

we’re going to build a fire
(it’s killing me)
(need kindness, i need kindness)
will you just sit with me?
we’re going to build a fire
(just sit and trust me)
and we’re gonna build it now

i need kindness
i need kindness
oh, the world is killing me
i need kindness

if you’re frightened
i’ll be scared
scared and violent

and if you’re frightened
i’ll be scared (scared, scared, scared and violent)
violent and scared

if you’re frightened i’ll be more afraid
and, oh, the violence
oh, trust me
we’re going to build a fire
and we’re gonna build it together now
we’re gonna build a fire
that’s what i’ll do for you
(i’m gonna give you . . .)
a fire . . .

the world is killing us
oh, the world is killing us
i need openness if you want me to be open and kind
(oh, i want to save you)
i need kindness
i’ll return it in a minute

i need kindness
the world is killing me
i’m terribly frightened
so help me build a fire
i want to jump into it with you

get ready
we’re going to build a fire
we’re going to build a fire
we’re going, we’re going, we’re going
we’re going to build a fire
fire, fire, fire
