lyrics

sticks and stones only break our bones
but your words set us on fire
your cruelty only leaves us alone
but what's left is our desire

we thought our fire could be contained
but all it does is smoke us out
we thought our fire would keep us safe
but all it does is burn the house down

we stay in our basement hole
cause we hear the foxes outside
it's safer to stay around with the moles
cause above we're terrified

we'll keep a fire to keep up safe
but sometimes it smokes us out
we thought our fire could be contained
but all it does is burn the house down

oh father come and save us
come swoop in
oh father come and save us
come swoop in
oh father come and save us
come swoop in
