Kerosene (Acoustic) Lyrics

Veins of frozen kerosene

Melting under starlight

My brain dissolves from morning guilt again

Yet another night

Heat invites another leap of faith

For my liver, for my heart

I'm always drained, always

I confess, I didn't taste

Lighter fluid lips when I fell into you

I couldn't feel my lungs inhale butane

Truth is, I never felt my soul

Soaking in kerosene

But once the vapour hits the brain

I'm always drained, always

Fading from the blaze

Your floating face is all I see

'til I forget your name

Let me burn like kerosene

And as I waste away

Torching my love in this craze

I'm always drained, always

Sore thirst, sour taste

Your liquor's too good to defy

Lost lust, headaches

Coming back one at a time

And no holy spirit down my throat

No bottle of denial

Can ever change that you've been mine

Call, call catastrophic drought

Ain't no smoke, smoke

Without narcoleptic fire

I'm always drained, always

But can never justify

The times I drown my pain

When the sun is coming down

From the blaze

Your floating face is all I see

'til I forget your name

Let me burn like kerosene

And as I waste away

Torching my love in this craze

I'm always drained, always

Fading from the blaze

Your floating face is all I see

'til I forget your name

Let me burn like kerosene

And as I waste away

Torching my love in this craze

I'm always drained, always
