Lyrics
Kerosene
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I need a new skin, an enemy to call a friend
Just to lie one more time
To steal my heart away, everything will be okay
Nothing tastes quite like denial
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've got nothing to lose, it's colored like a bruise
The way you left me
And I've got nothing to hide, it died inside
The way it should be
[Chorus]
I'm sorry I didn't smile today, my house is on fire again
So bring to me kerosene, my house is on fire again
I fake one more smile, the plastic one I've worn for miles
Just to keep wearing the crown
And crack one more joke, laugh 'till I almost choked
'Till nothing tastes quite like denial
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
Kerosene
My house is on fire again
Kerosene, -sene..
My house is on fire again
[Chorus x2]
