Empty bottles on a dusty wooden floor A remedy I’ve tried too many times Echos in my mind of shouts and slamming doors I’ve done better with goodbyes Now the sun is heading back into it’s grave It’s a cold October night Taste the autumn air and try to find a way To keep the dark out of my mind Kerosene Kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Light a candle as I lay me down to sleep Watch the room around me glow Listen quietly to wind and rustling the leaves In the silence I’m at home In my dreams I see her sitting by the fire Granite eyes reflect the flames Humming softly til the embers start to tire A faded memory I saved Kerosene Kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene Kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene
