lyrics:

little girl tries sleeping in the fireplace at home
no one banished her inside it, she just lay down on her own
she stares up into the darkness of the chimney and she hopes
that someday she may go up in smoke

oh, the ends of her hair curl into embers in the wood
beneath her head like a pillow, splintered shoulders in the soot
flickers turn to flame and moves in kisses up her arms
it loves her, so refuses her a scar

she doesn't burn
oh, she learns

pretty girl sits quiet in the coffee shop alone
staring empty out the window like she used to do at home
she feels his eyes fall down upon her from the counter, like a doe
the ache of yearning blisters in her bones

he follows her up to the hill where water never works
to send him down she broke his crown and blessed him with a curse
her only kiss a smear of kerosene, a desperation unrehearsed
and love made sure to let her know it hurts (love made sure it hurt)

he burns
oh, she learns

learns that breathing screamsmoke blackens hearts as much as lungs
it can’t be coughed back out and she can’t glisten like the sun
there’s no one left to save with love and no one she can touch
affection is the pyre built on wildfire in the brush

her hands were only ever made to press through burning flesh
and boiling tears won’t put it out but scald it like the rest
and the love of waxen women makes no difference in the end
if never she can make and keep a simple human friend

she can’t burn
oh, she’s learned

firesorrow girl says, “hang me up; i’d like to go” (i would like to go)
this isn’t quite a chimney she can column up to choke (i choose now to choke)
the weighted hand upon her waist is chained there like a ghost, (always been a ghost)
but the rope she wears is woven cold with hope (yearning to be cold)

those who can remember sing her name out like a prayer (i am not your prayer)
the music to it hollow of the truth in her despair (hollow with despair)
in wickerwind the crackleburn of candles cries for fate (i rewrite my fate)
and firesorrow girl may someday be chosen again (firechosen girl, again)
