Cienfuegos

Song written by Turtle Rose Lyrics below: Verse I was sitting on my porch one smoky summer day Watching orange skies where the green forests used to lay The talking heads on TV all had something else to say While the ashes kept on falling and the truth just blew away Trying to make sense of it, trying to understand Why the flames kept multiplying all across this land Everybody's pointing fingers, everybody's got a plan But the people caught between it are still asking how it began Chorus Cienfuegos... feels like living in these times has become dire Since when do burning forests start to smell like burning tires They say climate change is to blame, or was it just a gun for hire But more and more we're watching all their stories backfire Cienfuegos... that's what it's called when they start... A hundred fires Verse Then another season came and the smoke rolled in again The experts blamed the weather while the rumors spread like wind Some said it was negligence, some said it was greed Everybody had an answer, nobody agreed The headlines kept on changing with each passing news cycle What was fact one day became a theory they denied the next title And I started noticing a pattern hard to ignore The ones who stood to profit always seemed to want a little more Chorus Cienfuegos... feels like living in these times has become dire Since when do burning forests start to smell like burning tires They say climate change is to blame, or was it just a gun for hire But more and more we're watching all their stories backfire Cienfuegos... that's what it's called when they start... A hundred fires Bridge Maybe someday we'll uncover what was hidden in the haze Separate the truth from all the narratives they've raised Until then we're left wondering while the embers paint the night Searching through the darkness just to find a little light Oh Cienfuegos Chorus Cienfuegos... feels like living in these times has become dire Since when do burning forests start to smell like burning tires They say climate change is to blame, or was it just a gun for hire But more and more we're watching all their stories backfire Cienfuegos... that's what it's called when they start... A hundred fires Oh Cienfuegos
