I awake to a cold breeze and skeletons in the closet Turn the water on and watch it pour from the faucet It gets harder day by day, play by play From starring in the mirror to her eyes, looking for the words to say “You look like you need some rest” she said, I smirked Why don’t you try to tell me how to make us work I know, I know, it’s cold, it’s cold I’ve done burned up all the lies I told I glance at the mirror, to eyes the shade of blue Though I must admit they grow bigger when looking at you But a man of habit, is a man of creature There is no such thing as a bad teacher We’re like gasoline and nicotine So why don’t we go and light all our dreams Burn, burn em’ all and shake the frost Never to question what it cost We’re staring at each other through the front door The same memories and feelings; we’ve been here before I turn the handle, but it doesn’t open I try to speak, but these words have already been spoken

Gasoline & Nicotine
I awake to a cold breeze and skeletons in the closet Turn the water on and watch it pour from the faucet It gets harder day by day, play by play From starring in the mirror to her eyes, looking for the words to say “You look like you need some rest” she said, I smirked Why don’t you try to tell me how to make us work I know, I know, it’s cold, it’s cold I’ve done burned up all the lies I told I glance at the mirror, to eyes the shade of blue Though I must admit they grow bigger when looking at you But a man of habit, is a man of creature There is no such thing as a bad teacher We’re like gasoline and nicotine So why don’t we go and light all our dreams Burn, burn em’ all and shake the frost Never to question what it cost We’re staring at each other through the front door The same memories and feelings; we’ve been here before I turn the handle, but it doesn’t open I try to speak, but these words have already been spoken
