kerosene

If I could smile a thousand smiles

Fake I'm good for a while

I would

But I don't think that I should

'Cause then you'd never know

What goes on in my mind

I guess I'll just stay misunderstood

But it can get lonely sometimes

I wish that you'd hold me most nights

But it can get lonely sometimes

I wish that you'd hold me most nights

Kerosene

I've been burning at both ends to be here

Kerosene, yeah

I've been burning at both ends in secret

All of my friends are sad lately

And my dad said it

Evidence of the prevalence of pathology

So I took his car out south

And ended up crashing

I'm hoping that he'd see an ambulance as an analogy

Close your eyes

You're polarised

And chronically online

I spend all my life drinking a white light from a screen

Half the time I'm half-alive

My brain is barely mine

Probably should have never fell in love

With this lack of self-esteem

Kerosene, uh

I've been burning at both ends to be here

Kerosene, kerosene

I've been burning at both ends in secret

If I could smile a thousand smiles

Fake I'm good for a while

I would

But I don't think that I should

'Cause then you'd never know

What goes on in my mind

I guess I'll just stay misunderstood

But it can get lonely sometimes

I wish that you'd hold me most nights

But it can get lonely sometimes

I wish that you'd hold me most nights
