Baby on Fire

Baby on fire
How you missed those days
How you crawl
Marks left
Should've worn knee pads

Neediness and needles
No trees or dreidels
No hymns or him
But they have money
But they have "mercy"
But they have a roof over your head

It's not "fortune"
It's not "faith"
They aren't human beings
They aren't sluts
Or deadbeats
They are people
Who aren't human beings

So baby on fire
Keep crawling on high

It isn't your fault

Hopefully if you ever look back
They will already be salt
They deserve no thanks
The day you learn to walk
And never deserved your presence
Because your soles feel the dew

Keep clutching all that you have
Because one day your ragdoll sister
WILL come to life
