Lyrics:
Grown up in the cane fields
planted firmly in the filth
Just like an alder raised up
only to cut down for the wood
-----
Black soot and ash silhouette
Unsafe semblance of a home
You’d spent the whole night crying
In that big house, all alone
------
Tightly tucked away
In that back closet from the screams
Every rotten word in anger
Tore you roughly at the seams
------
Papa sparked a coldness in your eyes
They’d never even known
That the bitterest of evils
Lives beyond the flames, alone
------
But you’d waited for the sun
And you’d waited through the rain
You’d waited but the daylight never came.
So you took that book of matches
And that tank of gasoline
Smiling as they finally screamed your name
------
Flames rising in the kitchen
Dancing shadows on the wall
Like mama’d always told you
No one can hear you call
------
Smoke poured in through the hallway
Papa choking on his knees
Polaroids on the wall
Turned to smoke, blown away in the breeze
------
But you’d waited for the sun
And you’d waited through the rain
You’d waited but the daylight never came.
So you took that book of matches
And that tank of gasoline
Smiling as they finally screamed your name
(4x)
------
Crying, as you finally heard your name.
