The flames flickered and
broke into the nighttime breeze
As I inhaled the sharp and pounding smoke
Leaving it to the fire to take complete control
Lifting my spirits to the overworld
I broke out a pack of cigarettes
Continuing to wear my lungs down
To numbing black balls
But the killing sensation never got
To me
I was gonna die sometime anyways
I saw you walk away, your shadow
Disappearing into the distance
But each time you took a step forward,
Your footsteps got louder
And I couldn't bare it
So I inhaled the deathly concoction just a little bit more
I hate to say that I had loved you
Knowing you would leave anyway
But what's to say, you took my breath away
Even more than these cigarettes
You were my drug and I was your user
And I was becoming addicted
Getting high on you
And I knew it would be gone soon
But that was what was keeping me there
And I just couldn't stay away
