Lyric

Mama left a trail of sugar

Through the sink and down the hall

Tiny white moons on the linoleum

Leading me to your little fall

You said, "Baby, don't be late now"

With a grin and a paper crown

But the house kept grinning back at me

As the floorboards shook like a town

I heard your kettle hiss

I heard your teacups call

One sweet step, then another

Till I met that painted wall

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

I follow your spark

And it bites me back

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

I know your candy trap

Still I want that map

There was jam on the window latch

And a key in a licorice jar

Your laugh sat high on the rafters

Like a coin in a broken star

I said, "Who lives in a house like this?"

You said, "Only fools and queens"

Then your shadow curtseyed slowly

In the mirror between the seams

I should've turned around

Should've left that door alone

But your little sugared lie

Had me singing to the bone

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

I follow your spark

And it bites me back

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

I know your candy trap

Still I want that map

Now the moon's a crooked spoon

And the stairs go nowhere fast

I can taste the old black magic

In the crumbs you hid at last

If I vanish in your pantry

Tell the wolves I had my fun

I went down for the story

Not the fear of what I'd become

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

I follow your spark

And it bites me back

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

Crumbs through the dark

I know your candy trap

Still I want that map
