Lyrics

You want to suffer and show me you're angry
Fight with your fists up or call for you 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 chang 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 it away
I couldn't look at it, it made me think of you
You get in the way
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
You step on the sparks
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience
Electric like static, and no need to speak
It's not right, but it's not wrong
So I wrote this song
I wrote this song - is that what you want
You got what you want - does it make you feel better?
With a smirk on your face and a gun at my head
You come to my place and ask to be fed
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
You step on the sparks
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
You get in the way
You get in the way
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
