Kerosene Songtext
von Take the Name
Kerosene Songtext
See the blade
In your heart as it′s building up
Run away
You were never gonna be enough
Seven days
Since you told me what you know
With a blade against your throat
And now you're finished
Circle through the waves of the ocean blue
Siren calls emanating right near you
Every day′s more proof that the worst is true
That the cancer grew
And pulling the thorns out
Fight back
Hanging by your throat
You know you want me to burn, and burn alive
So you can warm your hands off the fire
You told me to be your only light
So you can find your way through the night
And now it feels like the harder that I fight
The more I see myself in the ashes, our happy ending
Strike a match, throw it in
To the flood of kerosene I'm drowning in
Blood signs
Trying to prove to you I'm still alive
Pocket knife
Cut me open while I′m paralyzed
You did it out of spite
Just to ruin my life
Step on my pride
And now I′m finished
Circle through the waves of the ocean blue
Siren calls emanating right near you
Every day you prove what I knew was true
I can see right through you
And your malevolence
Fight back
Hanging by your throat
You know you want me to burn, and burn alive
So you can warm your hands off the fire
You told me to be your only light
So you can find your way through the night
And now it feels like the harder that I fight
The more I see myself in the ashes, our happy ending
Strike a match, throw it in
To the flood of kerosene I'm drowning in
The flood of kerosene I′m drowning in
The flood of kerosene
You stepped off the ledge with my hand in yours
You couldn't stand to see me honoring you while I cursed
You stepped off the ledge with my hand in yours
You couldn′t stand to see me over it and you were my trust
You know you want me to burn, and burn alive
So you can warm your hands off the fire
You told me to be your only light
So you can find your way through the night
And now it feels like the harder that I fight
The more I see myself in the ashes, our happy ending
Strike a match, throw it in
To the flood of kerosene I'm drowning in
In your heart as it′s building up
Run away
You were never gonna be enough
Seven days
Since you told me what you know
With a blade against your throat
And now you're finished
Circle through the waves of the ocean blue
Siren calls emanating right near you
Every day′s more proof that the worst is true
That the cancer grew
And pulling the thorns out
Fight back
Hanging by your throat
You know you want me to burn, and burn alive
So you can warm your hands off the fire
You told me to be your only light
So you can find your way through the night
And now it feels like the harder that I fight
The more I see myself in the ashes, our happy ending
Strike a match, throw it in
To the flood of kerosene I'm drowning in
Blood signs
Trying to prove to you I'm still alive
Pocket knife
Cut me open while I′m paralyzed
You did it out of spite
Just to ruin my life
Step on my pride
And now I′m finished
Circle through the waves of the ocean blue
Siren calls emanating right near you
Every day you prove what I knew was true
I can see right through you
And your malevolence
Fight back
Hanging by your throat
You know you want me to burn, and burn alive
So you can warm your hands off the fire
You told me to be your only light
So you can find your way through the night
And now it feels like the harder that I fight
The more I see myself in the ashes, our happy ending
Strike a match, throw it in
To the flood of kerosene I'm drowning in
The flood of kerosene I′m drowning in
The flood of kerosene
You stepped off the ledge with my hand in yours
You couldn't stand to see me honoring you while I cursed
You stepped off the ledge with my hand in yours
You couldn′t stand to see me over it and you were my trust
You know you want me to burn, and burn alive
So you can warm your hands off the fire
You told me to be your only light
So you can find your way through the night
And now it feels like the harder that I fight
The more I see myself in the ashes, our happy ending
Strike a match, throw it in
To the flood of kerosene I'm drowning in
