    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
