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.
