Feeding Fires

from Say What You Want by Ruby Birds

/

lyrics

Traditions are nothing more than obligations
Someone decided were important long ago
They passed it down in a box they called nostalgia
And now someone dead you probably never met is telling you how to live your life and grow

It’s not on you to feed a fire
That you didn’t even light
You’re getting buried by other people
Who want you to live their life

I think that I would call that self-importance
To make you carry the burden of that guilt
You weren’t born to be a hostage
And you should only care about the things that you want to build

It’s not on you to feed a fire
If you’d rather watch it die
You’re getting buried by other people
Who want you to live their life

You can’t look back and forward with the same eye
