Calm me down
Don't get worked up and hurt me now
Let me down easy
You don't get hurt when you're not around
Constantly saying things like
Never again, never again
I won't hurt anyone again
Never again, never again
I'll never speak to you my friend
Just to brush my teeth right now
Only lying on the top of a play set
The embers of regret
I feel my back light up and see
Pillars of smoke come out of me
Taking me back to when I was three
Feeling the ground beneath my feet
Coal
Walking on coal
Coal
Walking on coal
But the fire was walking on me
