Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ink-stained hands Cracked leather satchel Late bell rings I slide in fast Professor talks of planes and portals I’m daydreaming of my spellbook’s past Dorm room cluttered Runes on the ceiling Roommates snore through my practiced lines I trade sleep for silent cantrips Burned-out eyes and awakened minds [Chorus] I’m the campus arcane fire (hey!) Lighting up the midnight sky Got a party waiting at the tavern door While I’m still learning how to fly I’m a first-name basis with danger But I highlight every page Twenty-something Over-caffeinated Turning homework into haze [Verse 2] Study hall She’s shining armor Clanking loud when the room goes still Rogue’s in back Feet on the table Carving hearts he can’t quite fill Cleric’s laughing Says “You’re shaking” I say “I just passed conjuring” (oh yeah) We ditch class for a goblin contract Field trip beats another briefing [Chorus] I’m the campus arcane fire (hey!) Lighting up the midnight sky Got a party waiting at the tavern door While I’m still learning how to fly I’m a first-name basis with danger But I highlight every page Twenty-something Over-caffeinated Turning homework into haze [Bridge] Finals week on a dungeon floor Flash cards fall from my robe Orc chief roars I mumble Latin Hope this circle actually holds All my theories All my thesis Boil down to this one spark Pass or fail The spell is landing Watch it blossom in the dark (woah) [Chorus] I’m the campus arcane fire Lighting up the midnight sky My best friends banged-up Laughing Covered in ash But alive I’m a first-name basis with danger Still I’ll make it to that stage Twenty-something Robe half-buttoned Dean of Detentions and Arcane Rage

Upbeat pop-rock with folk-fantasy colors; bright acoustic guitar over a steady kick and warm bass, mandolin flourishes and tambourine in the choruses. Male vocals with stacked gang shouts on the hook; bridge drops to half-time toms and airy pads, then a soaring final chorus with extra harmonies and a held last note.
