"Firecracker" lyrics - LISA LOEB

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

Spend time alone
Find a stick in the basement
Drink water and gold dust
And live on impatience
Slaughtered for weakness
Electric like static
Slaughtered you're weak
There's no need to speak

You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
You step on the sparks
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers

I shouldn't be any great inspiration
I never got in your way
I should never have to chase you
You was the one who ran away

If you could feel the pain
Your confusion has caused me
You would have stopped
Before you spoke
Listening to lies
The pain doesn't suit me
The gift that you gave me
I put it away

I couldn't look at it
It made me think of you
You get in the way

You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
You step on the sparks
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers

Spend time alone
Find a stick in the basement
Drink water and gold dust
And die of impatience
Electric like 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 want
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 sparks
You change your shoelaces
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
