Prompt / Lyrics
[INTRO] [Static. An engine overheating. A voice, grinning through the distortion:] "They say I burn too hot. That I'll burn out fast. Yeah? Watch me." [Boosters ignite. Beat drops — fast, aggressive, redlining.] --- [VERSE 1] They told me pace yourself Save something for the end But I don't plan on making it To where the road bends I got one speed and it's redline One gear and it's gone I don't need a future When the now burns this strong You save your ammo, save your boost Save your life for later use I'll spend it all, I'll burn it bright A supernova in the night --- [PRE-CHORUS] I know how this ends I've always known But I'd rather be the flame Than the ash left alone --- [CHORUS] Burn bright, burn fast, burn out—that's the deal! I'd rather be the fire than the cold that's left to feel! Burn bright, burn fast, burn out—watch me go! I was never meant to smolder, I was born to glow! Overheat, overload, let the systems scream! I'm chasing something you can't catch if you don't dream! Burn bright, burn fast, burn out—that's the cost! I'd rather be a memory than something that got lost! --- [VERSE 2] You think I'm reckless You're not wrong But caution never made A story worth a song They'll write about the ones who burned The ones who touched the sun Not the ones who watched from safety Not the ones who ran I'm not afraid of empty I'm afraid of never full I'd rather die in fire Than live inside a lull --- [PRE-CHORUS] I know how this ends I've always known But I'd rather be the flame Than the ash left alone --- [CHORUS] Burn bright, burn fast, burn out—that's the deal! I'd rather be the fire than the cold that's left to feel! Burn bright, burn fast, burn out—watch me go! I was never meant to smolder, I was born to glow! Overheat, overload, let the systems scream! I'm chasing something you can't catch if you don't dream! Burn bright, burn fast, burn out—that's the cost! I'd rather be a memory than something that got lost! --- [BRIDGE] [Track pulls back. Just a heartbeat and a clean guitar. Flame Fly's voice, quieter, almost soft.] They'll say I wasted what I had That I could've lasted longer But lasting isn't living And I chose to be stronger Not in years, not in numbers Not in battles I survived But in the moment when I burned so bright The whole world knew I was alive --- [FINAL CHORUS] [Full explosion. The track redlines, overloads, burns out. Ends in feedback.] BURN BRIGHT, BURN FAST, BURN OUT—THAT'S THE DEAL! (THAT'S THE DEAL!) I'D RATHER BE THE FIRE THAN THE COLD THAT'S LEFT TO FEEL! (LEFT TO FEEL!) BURN BRIGHT, BURN FAST, BURN OUT—WATCH ME GO! I WAS NEVER MEANT TO SMOLDER, I WAS BORN TO— [BOOM — feedback. Silence.] --- [OUTRO] [Static. A single, distorted breath. Flame Fly's voice, grinning:] "Worth it." [Silence.]
