Fire, Walk with Me

How can we forgive ourselves?
 For what we have become?
 How should we bear this burden?
 Displace the things we've done?
 I loved you so fucking much
 It nearly lasted a lifetime
 Fuck! I scratched my heart out
 Just to watch it bleed
 ♪
 I wish I was kerosene
 Just to set myself on fire
 I wish I was kerosene
 I'd burn all we've edified
 I wish I was kerosene
 Plain to set your world on fire
 I wish I was kerosene
 Just to feed the flames
 ♪
 And a bottle of whiskey later
 I can still recall the shape of your face
 While I forgot my way home
 While I forgot my own fucking name
 While I forgot my own fucking name
 ♪
 Who even calls this place home?
 In the best case it's a grave with a view
 I was never really here
 But the streets still seem to know my name
 Stay!
 Never mind the emptiness!
 Leave!
 Fire walks with me!
 You kept a lot of secrets
 And I kept none
 I wish I could go back
 And keep some
 ♪
 I usually keep my sadness
 Pent up deep inside
 Where it can fester quietly
 To become mental illness
 You were so fucking afraid
 You might be living a lie
 Oh, poor you
 I may have lived like twenty
 ♪
 I wish I was kerosene
 Just to set myself on fire
 I wish I was kerosene
 I'd burn all we've edified
 I wish I was kerosene
 Plain to set youself on fire
 I wish I was kerosene
 At least to feed the flames
 ♪
 This will never be about life
 Always about love and death
 These are the only things
 That make me write
 The things that let me bleed
 That let me starve
 ♪
 The soil below me whispers my name and suggests:
 You are done here, come home now
 Face the triangle of growth, decline and decay
 Cause the harder you struggle
 The tighter the noose!
 The tighter the noose!
