Gingerbread Housefire Lyrics

Album: SADXMASS

My gingerbread house, I'm burning it down.

God's not here now, there's no one around.

My gingerbread house has been disavowed,

Ashes in the air but I can breathe now.

Gingerbread housefire,

I'm in barbed wire.

Silent night, violent fire.

The future is brighter,

Gingerbread housefire.

Bleed me dry like baby lamb,

I still don't know who I am.

Burned like a witch on a stake,

I always bend but I don't break.

I credit where there's credit due,

I wish I got that credit too.

I raised myself while raising you,

I lost myself long before I lost you.

I've spent my life circling drains.

I burn myself for burning pain.

Foundations fall, you call my name.

I'll bite my tongue, yeah, once again..

..Instead of wishing you dead,

I breathe in bursts, again and again.

An atmosphere like the deep-end,

I tried to get out, I ran and I ran.

There's no escape from where you're born,

The evil inside me, despite scorn.

I did no wrong until I did wrong,

I lived your life until you were gone.

Spewed forth from a dirty cunt,

I was raised by wolves to hunt.

A sick litter, you said I was the runt,

But I'm the last one standing up.

Drag me to hell,

Burn, burn, burn it down.

I believe in myself now,

I know that I am God now.

I can't talk to you underground,

But I don't need to, I am unbound.
