Petroleum - Puffball

I’ve been put down and been the target of scorn

So many times I’ve cursed the day I was born

Tasted every taste and done all to the max

I’ve survived this long thanks to pills and twelvepacks

It’s all been hazy but one thing I know

No use to fight it when you’re sunk so low

Can’t take the pressure so I bring out the torch

Found my dead girlfriend on the front porch

THAT’S WHAT DID IT FOR ME, THAT’S WHEN I LIT THE FLAME

THAT’S WHEN PETROLEUM HELPED ME TO GET AFTERLIFE FAME

I GOT BACK TO ONE, GOT RID OF ALL THAT’S BEEN WITH A MATCH AND GASOLINE.

Yeah I was put down and the target of scorn

Sure I’m a coward but I don’t think you’ll mourn

The tastes I tasted was just to get away

To escape the pain and block out the things you’d say

I stand here ready with a can of sauce

Self-inflicted combustion and you’re the cause

A gruesome sight but I won’t feel the flames

The fire is the only thing that cleans the stains

THAT’S WHAT DID IT FOR ME, THAT’S WHEN I LIT THE FLAME

THAT’S WHEN PETROLEUM HELPED ME TO GET AFTERLIFE FAME

I GOT BACK TO ONE, GOT RID OF ALL THAT’S BEEN WITH A MATCH AND GASOLINE.
