Lyrics to "Firestarter" by Julia Ecklar

[goatgodschild]

Daddy’s Little Girl
Grew up one night last Fall,
When mommy died beneath the kitchen stairs
And now they cry in anger, ‘cause we won’t come when they call
And they won’t let us find peace anywhere
Oh, but if they ever hold us, I fear what I might hurl
For though they’ve never told us, Daddy’s girl can burn the world

Fire, fire, fire, with the baby in the pen
Fire, fire, fire, is the lady’s only friend
And if they dare the darkness, and try to hem us in
Daddy’s little girl forgets the past
They’ll find their firestarter’s grown up fast

Stallions running madly, with manes and tails aflame
Pounding through my dreams
A nightmare herd, just running; always running
Not outdistancing the pain
But daddy’s girl could end it in a word
But I never want to hurt them, for I know that would be Bad
But they push and hate and scare us, they don’t know all I have…

I have fire, fire, fire, to bring monsters in the night
O, fire, fire, fire, burns my life in hellish light
Burning hands and burning hair, must I burn all I see?
Fury and the fire are close friends
And the firestarting nightmare never ends

So a year is spent inside, learning how to wield a burn
Light your match before your eyes could see
But now something’s going wrong, and we’re trapped around each turn
Locked within a cell without a key
O, there’s nowhere left to run to, and there’s nowhere left to turn
And there’s nothing left to run for, but there’s something left to burn!

O, fire, fire, fire warms the willow trees at night
O, fire, fire, fire will make everything alright
Destroy my life and family, as if you all were gods
But you taught daddy’s girl that game, you fools
And firestarters don’t play by the rules…
