Broke All Their Ladders

The first time she smiled, she was ten-years old

It was Christmas Eve, the tree had caught fire

It had just begun to snow

The Star of Bethlehem exploded

The dollhouse she had begged for melted

Her mother was holding the match

Her mother was holding the match

The firefighters refused to put out the fire

The firefighters refused to put out the fire

They turned off the city's water

And broke all their ladders

She's only living, when everything's burning down
