When I'm done 

               
with thinking,
              
then I'm done 

             
with you.
              
When I'm done 

               
with crying,
              
then I'm done 

             
with you.
              
When I feel so

               
 tired,
              
then I'm done

You're trying 

                
to convince me
              
that what i've

            
 done's not ri

          
ght.
             
And I get so f

            
rustrated
              
I stay up ever

         
y night.
              
You ask me for

Firecracker


                                                               

  You want to        suffer to       show me your    angry
  Fight with your    fists up or call for your   mummy
  You want to        suffer to       show me your    angry
  Spend time alone find a     stick in the    basement
  Drink water &   gold dust and   live on impatience
  Slaughtered for    weakness electric like   static
  Slaughtered your   weak there's no need to speak


 You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
 You step on the spark
 You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers

 I shouldn't be any inspiration
 I never got in your way
 I should never have to chase you
 I was the one who got away
 If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
You would have stopped before you spoke
Listening to lies, the pain does'nt suit me
The gift that you gace me, I put it away
I could'nt look at it, made me think of you
You get in the way

You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
 You step on the spark
 You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers

Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience
Electric liek static, and no need to speak
It's not right, but it's not wrong
So I wrote this song
I wrote this song - is that what you want
You got what you wnat - does it make you feel better?
With a smirk on your face and a gun at my head
You come to my place and ask to be fed 

You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
You step on the spark
You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers
You get in the way

You get in the way

You want to suffer and show me you're angry
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
