Kerosene

I don't get the joke
These talking heads
I broke the locks
Cut the common thread
It don't take much
To light me up
I hold my place
No one is anchoring

Ooh... I'm kerosene
Ooh...

I light the curtains
And douse the bed
You snuffed it out
But it's glowing red
It don't take much
To Set me off
All of these fools
That I'm not suffering

Ooh... I'm kerosene
Ooh...

I don't wanna feel it
I just wanna burn it down
The nature of an ember
Falling 'fore it hits the ground
And I know the scar
Will be a part of me now
I don't wanna feel it
I just want to burn it out

I don't fit the mold
You put me in
Can't take me twice
Don't try again
It's nothing new
Discarded love
All of this chaos
That I find comfort in

Ooh... I'm kerosene
Ooh...

I don't wanna feel it
I just wanna burn it down
The nature of an ember
Falling 'fore it hits the ground
And I know the scar
Will be a part of me now
I don't wanna feel it
I just want to burn it out

So bright
So bright
Can't catch me
I'm falling
So bright
So bright
Can't catch me
I'm falling

I don't wanna feel it
I just wanna burn it down
The nature of an ember
Falling 'fore it hits the ground
And I know the scar
Will be a part of me now
I don't wanna feel it
I just want to burn it out

Ooh... I'm kerosene
Ooh...

I don't get the joke
These talking heads
I hold my place
No one is anchoring
