SkyBabyRecords: Music & Lyrics
Kerosene
blood
burns
brighter
than midnight’s oil.
lies
live
longer
than your gods.
tightrope, too long,
the passive tension,
it’s only fiction making me stay.
pour the fire into the lake,
leave a trail for no one to find,
cover your own tracks till the new path has arrived.
catch the glint that covers his flame,
razorblade their throats inside,
set the timers off so you’ll never ask why.
a comfort,
a knowing
starts to crawl,
curious to lose.
ignore
the textures
within,
we’ll smoothe things out.
tightrope, too long,
the passive tension,
it’s only fiction making me stay.
pour the fire into the lake,
leave a trail for no one to find,
cover your own tracks till the new path has arrived.
catch the glint that covers his flame,
razorblade their throats inside,
set the timers off so you’ll never ask why.kerosene.
