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 says that
It's evidence of the prevalence of pathology
So I took his car out south
And ended up crashing it
Hoping that he'd see an ambulance as an analogy
Close your eyes, you're polarized and chronically online
I spend all my life drinkin' 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 to be here

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
