Fire

Little child, did you throw the dice again?
 Black and blue paint on your wall
 Hey, didn't mama tell you that she loves you so?
 Even if her bones are dry to hear you sing and cry.
 Attempting to please the world at the age of 17
 You kill your babies and call it "offering"
 The stench of truth: the life for a life to be kind as to be unkind
 It took six sweet years of your life
 You walked alone along with your tea cold colored mind
 Subtly you pay the curse upon you
 But the promise of a man seeps through earth and grave and stone
 You will seek him with all your heart and soul and strength
 You count all the cost as you walk out the door
 Without a warning
 You set the world on fire like it used to be
 Fire!
 Fire!
 Fire!
 Fire!
 You're never appearing not to
 Emerging through unscathed
 Your little god you're cauterized by sin
 Comfortable and seem to gain a taste of fatherless
 It took six sweet years of your life
 You walked alone along with your tea cold colored mind
 Subtly you pay the curse upon you
 But the promise of a man seeps through earth and grave and stone
 You will seek him with all your heart and soul and strength
 You count all the cost as you walk out the door
 Without a warning
 You set the world on fire like it used to be
 Fire!
 Fire!
 Fire!
 Fire!
