Self On Fire Lyrics by Anna Wise

The Feminine: Act II

2017

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Go, go, go
