Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Kerosene, dopamine, chemical-induced

Fantasy and fame, yeah, the things we choose

Show me hate, show me love, make me bulletproof

Yeah, we call this shit normal (Woo-woo)

Run away, out of sight, don't know what I want

Wish I had a minute just to turn me off

Kerosene, dopamine, what I gotta do?

Yeah, we call this shit normal (Ah-ooh)

Heavy is the head when you chasin' true

Will you color me red? Will you color me blue?

Two sides of a coin, and they both ain't true

Is it different for me? Is it different for you?

Got me feelin' things unusual

And I live 'em all

Got me and my feelings up on this wall

And my knees-ees

Kerosene, dopamine, chemical-induced

Fantasy and fame, yeah, the things we choose

Show me hate, show me love, make me bulletproof

Yeah, we call this shit normal (Woo-woo)

Run away, out of sight, don't know what I want

Wish I had a minute just to turn me off

Kerosene, dopamine, what I gotta do?

Yeah, we call this shit normal (Ah-ooh)

How I'm 'posed to feel?

Used to think that I was built with a heart made of steel

Now I understand the truth, some pain don't heal

If everything's just happy, mm, that ain't real (That ain't real)

I breathe everything out like a thousand times

Normal and special, they are just some lines

One deep sigh, then it slips away, fades away

What I try to keep never want to stay

Runaway, pushin' me, pullin' me, said you wanted all of me

But what is even all of me?

Suddenly, part of me is hauntin' me, heard the things they callin' me

What the hell you want from me? (Want from me)

Got me feelin' things unusual

And I live 'em all

Got me and my feelings up on this wall

And my knees-ees

Kerosene, dopamine, chemical-induced

Fantasy and fame, yeah, the things we choose

Show me hate, show me love, make me bulletproof

Yeah, we call this shit normal (Woo-woo)

Run away, out of sight, don't know what I want

Wish I had a minute just to turn me off

Kerosene, dopamine, what I gotta do?

Yeah, we call this shit normal (Ah-ooh)

No, we, no, we, no, we call this shit normal

No, we, no, we, no, we call this shit normal, yeah

No, we, no, we, no, we call this shit normal
