Let yourself stare and wonder
Move my hand to shame
Open both eyes wide to blunder
Rain and ice to smoke my flame
And when I try to slip away
Don’t leave me in my youth
Just try to trust the strong don’t stray
So freeze me in the truth
But somehow you’ll find me sated
Sheepish itches all been scratched
You’ll wonder how I fed a fire
When forbidden from a match
Before you brand all my fingers with a ****
Check your palms, they’re black with ash
