Everytime he takes us out I hope I’ll get to see you,

And get a break from the dark loneliness of his wool pocket.

He uses me to light you, and slowly you will die,

Only I can hear you call out, only I can hear you cry.

Every time it’s someone new, fourteen are already gone.

I know there are seven others, but to you my heart belongs.

I feel like a killer, and I pray that you’ll forgive me,

I swear, it’s all his fault, it’s entrapment, don’t you see?

With this ash on my hands, myself I can never be.

I’m sorry lover, please, I beg, come back to me.

I wait with a cloud hanging over my head, and cry myself to sleep,

Nobody else ever cared for me, do you lie awake and weep?

But it’s okay I have to always remember in my mind,

Because I too will run out of fluid, and you my heart will find.
