[Verse 1]
How can we forgive ourselves?
For what we have become?
How should we bear this burden?
Displace the things we've done?

I loved you so fucking much
It nearly lasted a lifetime
Fuck! I scratched my heart out
Just to watch it bleed...

[Chorus 1]
I wish I was kerosene, just to set myself on fire
I wish I was kerosene, I'd burn all we've edified
I wish I was kerosene, plain to set your world on fire
I wish I was kerosene, just to feed the flames

[Verse 2]
And a bottle of whiskey later
I can still recall the shape of your face
While I forgot my way home
While I forgot my own fucking name

While I forgot my own fucking name

[Bridge 1]
Who even calls this place home?
In the best case it's a grave with a view
I was never really here
But the streets still seem to know my name
[Bridge 2]
Stay! Never mind the emptiness!
Leave! Fire walks with me!
You kept a lot of secrets and I kept none
I wish I could go back and keep some...

[Verse 3]
I usually keep my sadness
Pent up deep inside
Where it can fester quietly
To become mental illness

You were so fucking afraid
You might be living a lie
Oh poor you...
I may have lived like twenty!

[Chorus 2]
I wish I was kerosene, just to set myself on fire
I wish I was kerosene, I'd burn all we've edified
I wish I was kerosene, plain to set yourself on fire
I wish I was kerosene, at least to feed the flames

[Post-Chorus]
This will never be about life
Always about love and death
These are the only things that make me write
The things that let me bleed, that let me starve
[Outro]
The soil below me whispers my name and suggests:
You are done here, come home now?
Face the triangle of growth, decline and decay
Cause the harder you struggle, the tighter the noose!
The tighter the noose!
