This Wild Life
Kerosene
[Verse 1]
I've put myself down for so long, just waiting for someone to put me out
I've beat myself down for all my wrongs, just waiting for the ride[?] to come out
I wait alone here in this darkness, waiting for the light to find me
I felt so done but I tried my hardest, to quell this fire inside me

[Pre-Chorus]
It keeps surging on and on like the waves at sea
Dragging like an anchor in the grave of my own grief

[Chorus]
These midnight skies, are clouded in my mind
I poured this kerosene but could you sparе a light?
These thoughts keep spinning 'round and 'round
On this carousel burning to thе ground
Alone in the spaces in my head, just waiting to be found

[Verse 2]
I'm pulling apart at the seams, this darkness swallowing me
God damnit, what I'd give to just be free
I'm buried in water so cold, drowning in all my lost hope
Reaching for it like I can hardly see
Cause I felt myself sinking so low
Struggling against this undertow
And I felt this cold calm slipping in
Reaching out for the surface spread so thin
[Pre-Chorus]
It keeps slipping through my hands like the wind at sea
Shining like the North Star, burning bright just to spite me

[Chorus]
These midnight skies, are clouded in my mind
I poured this kerosene but could you spare a light?
These thoughts keep spinning 'round and 'round
On this carousel burning to the ground
Alone in the spaces in my head, just waiting to be found

[Bridge]
To be fine with all these scars that just won't heal
Fine with getting high so I don't feel
Fine with showing smiles that just turn around
Are you even real?
Cause there's a black hole inside of me
Swallowing the light that's dying to get free
Can I ever just be free?

[Chorus]
These midnight skies, are clouded in my mind
I poured this kerosene but could you spare a light?
These thoughts keep spinning 'round and 'round
On this carousel burning to the ground
Alone in the spaces in my head, just waiting to be found
