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 they'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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/four_year_strong/sweet_kerosene.html ]
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 that you'll 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
I think this song is about, and this is coming from a totally professional opinion, a man who was down on his luck. After traveling down the long road of lonliness, he realizes being lonely is lame and he starts to be a baller. True story.
