Excuse my ignorance,
But isn't this what men strive lifetimes for?
The price is high, but consequence
Of spinelessness will cost much more

Kerosene...
Carry me...

If my faith gives way I have nothing.
Nothing.
If I lose my grip I've gained none at all.

Excuse my arrogance,
But where do you think inspiration lies?
Hate the life, love the depth
Shovels can't be sanitized

Kerosene...
Carry me...

If my faith gives way I have nothing.
Nothing.
If I lose my grip I've gained none at all.

I’m waitin’ on the sun to set
Cause yesterday ain't over yet
I started smoking cigarettes
There’s nothing else to do I guess

Dusty roads ain't made for walking
Spinning tires ain't made for stoppin’
I’m giving up on love
Cause love’s given up on me

I gave it everything I had
And everything I got was bad
Life ain't hard but it’s too long
Livin' like some country song

Trade the truth in for a lie
Cheating really ain't a crime
I’m giving up on love
Cause love’s given up on me

Forget your high society
I’m soakin’ it in Kerosene
Light ‘em up and watch them burn
Teach them what they need to learn, ha!
Dirty hands aint made for shakin’
Ain't a rule that ain't worth breakin’
Well, I’m giving up on love
Cause love’s given up on me

Now I don’t hate the one who left
You can't hate someone who's dead
He’s out there holding on to someone
I’m holding up my smoking gun

I’ll find somewhere to lay my blame
The day she changes her last name
Well I’m giving up on love
Cause love’s given up on me

Well, I’m giving up on love
Hey, love’s given up on me

everywhere I look I see exclusive huddled uninviting
shelter is a privilege of the same and competent

kerosene keeps me warm
I'm alone to watch it burn
kerosene

exposure is a pitiful and pointless way of dying
before it gets me I'll build a funeral pyre

kerosene keeps me warm
I'm alone to watch it burn
kerosene

i'm a man and my dignity won't wave
Tonight buildings rage!

kerosene keeps me warm
feels so good to watch it burn
kerosene

kerosene keeps me warm
I'm alone to watch it burn
kerosene

kerosene keeps me warm
feels so good to watch it burn
kerosene
[to fade]

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]
