Lyrics to Self on Fire



Walk, pace, step, kneel

I don't want to disappoint my family

I don't want

Wounds, with, time, heal

He don't know how to respect me

He don't know



I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire



What a nice dress

He carried me to the ceremony

He carried

Says I'll know bliss

When my flowers safe in matrimony

When my



I didn't know what it meant

I put my palms to his withered hands

Tried to get me wet

I drip thick blood on the linens

I took a pill to forget

It was all coming back in dreams

Matches in my hands

Go my hands on kerosine

He went out to bet

I got an hour to fulfill my plan

Never will the man

Put his fists to my body



I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire

I set myself on fire



Go

Go, go...
