I Dream of a Fire That Stays Burning When Nobody Tends It

I'm so angry I could scream, I break down and cry Like I have a thousand times, a million times Me and my worthlessness, we're best friends She holds me with her skinny arms and hunchback says I told you so, I told you so I told you it was a trick and a game like every man plays You will be and have always been the fly caught in his web While the sticky rope spins around you You're caught and he's found you I dream, I dream of a fire that stays burning when nobody tends it I dream, I dream I dream of a hand that reaches out when nobody lends it I dream I dream of a fire that stays burning when nobody tends it I dream, I dream I dream of a hand that reaches out when nobody lends it I'm so hopeless I could scream and break down and die Like I have a thousand times, a million times Me and my worthlessness are well fed She leans back in her armchair and cackles and says "You stupid child, you stupid child, you thought that this time it was different" "You're one in a million, you're perfect, you're destined to be" Like the ice in the glass and he's downed you You're lost and he's drowned you I dream, I dream of a fire that stays burning when nobody tends it I dream, I dream I dream of a hand that reaches out when nobody lends it I dream I dream of a fire that stays burning when nobody tends it I dream, I dream I dream of a hand that reaches out when nobody lends it
