The habit began To **** the pain After the trauma I wasn't quite sane It held me up My crutch, my cane Through all my mistakes It shared the blame The hard way taught Me how to change Then Years went by And the baby came So one by one Old demons were slain No longer wild I started to tame Sneaking away Filled me with shame But smoke like claws Are dug into my brain So I light one up And stare at the flame I love it too much But I hate it the same With defeated lungs And yellow stains I'll close the chapter Of memory lane I'll quit tomorrow And break these chains.
