"Sweet Kerosene" lyrics

Believing the world revolves around you
While you are squirming like a worm
Defying the laws of recognition
To take the pill to vaccinate the germ

I'd call out your name
But I don't believe you'll ever hear me again
Sweet kerosene
Soak your way through me
Sparks from machines
Light to heat up my cold dead hands tonight
To heat up my cold dead hands tonight

Destroying the beauty that surrounds you
To find the face that made you what you are
Dissecting the heart of admiration
To prove you cannot hide the scars

I'd call out your name
But I don't believe you'll ever hear me again
Sweet kerosene
Soak your way through me
Sparks from machines
Light to heat up my cold dead hands tonight
To heat up my cold dead hands tonight

Think you can break me
Think you can break—
You'll never take me alive, alive, alive!
You'll never take me alive
You'll never take me

I'd call out your name
But I don't believe you'll ever hear me again
Sweet kerosene
Soak your way through me
Sparks from machines
Light to heat up my cold dead hands tonight
To heat up my cold dead hands tonight
