lyrics

Rose petals line the shore
With foam and debris
The stars can't cause heartache
Like the moon

The tides white fingers
Pull at your feet
And undress your dress of lace
Seducing you into the waves

Darling spark the match
There's kerosene in the water
Drop it and watch my baby go up in flames

Cold water attacks your spine
To paralyze your dreams
Pins and needles and numb with pain
You start to hallucinate flames

And blue lips send kisses
To lost sailors and me
As your body drops degrees
But your heart is burning like kerosene

Darling spark the match
There's kerosene in the water
Drop it and watch my baby go up in flames

The carbon taste in your mouth
Stings your teeth
Each breath is too late
Your liquid and losing your shape

Mermaids are singing
"Ashes ashes we're all burning down"
As we start to disintegrate
And embers are lost in the waves

Darling spark the match
There's kerosene in the water
Drop it and watch my baby go up in flames
