Song : Firecracker
You want to suffer and show me you"re angry.
Fight with your fists or call for your mommy.
You want to suffer and show me you"re angry
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement.
Drink water and gold dust, and live on impatience.
Slaughtered for weakness, electric like static
Slaughtered, you"re weak - there"s no need to speak.
You change your shoelaces,
I light firecrackers.
You step on the sparks.
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers.
I shouldn"t be any great inspiration
I never got in your way
I should never have to chase you.
I was the one who got away.
If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
you would have stopped before you spoke.
Listening to lies, the pain doesn"t suit me.
The gift that you gave me, I put away.
