Kerosene
Kerosene Embers: Love's Inferno Unleashed
Lyrics
You were raised on righteous love
You were brought up in a family that believed in moral, just love.
I was brought up in a burning house
I grew up in a home that was constantly in turmoil or crisis, symbolized by a burning house.
You dried your hands on monogrammed towels
You used fancy towels with initials on them.
Ones I used to put out fires and shield my mouth
I used those towels to extinguish fires and protect myself from harm.
I've met your type you'd like to settle me down
I've encountered your personality before; you want to domesticate or settle me down.
While I drown your picket fence in gasoline
While you try to create a perfect, conventional life, I disrupt it by causing chaos.
Well if you lie here I'll keep you warm
If you stay with me, I'll provide comfort and warmth temporarily.
Just until you find the one
Only until you find someone else who is right for you.
I'll burn through you like kerosene
I'll consume or use you up swiftly like kerosene burns.
I'll strike a match, but no spark's guaranteed
Although I'll ignite a flame, there's no assurance it'll catch or last.
You need a light so we take it outside
You need help or illumination, so we go outside.
I would die to taste the ash on your tongue
I desire to experience the aftermath of destruction with you.
My heart is ember but you make me feel young
Despite my hardened heart, you make me feel youthful or alive.
When I kiss that jawline carved for cinema
Your jawline, perfect for the movies, captivates me.
Well if you lie here I'll keep you warm
If you stay close to me, I'll provide temporary comfort.
Just until you find the one
Only until you find someone else who fulfills your needs better.
I'll burn through you like kerosene
I'll consume or use you up swiftly like kerosene burns.
I'll strike a match, but no spark's guaranteed
Although I'll ignite a flame, there's no assurance it'll catch or last.
I'll smoke you out,but the high ain't cheap
I'll bring you out of your comfort zone, but it won't be an easy or cheap experience.
I'll burn through you like kerosene
I'll consume or use you up swiftly like kerosene burns.
You were raised on righteous love
Similar to the earlier line, you were brought up in a family that believed in moral, just love.
I was brought up in a burning house
Reiterates growing up in a turbulent environment symbolized by a burning house.
