lanmò

Hold the smoke in your hands; Eat the love that the others feed you; hold your children in your poison arms; You know you've got something to live for. Feel the heat warm your fingers; Let the sadness pierce your soul; But just pretend that you're happy; Like you've got something to live for. Touch the burner on the stove; Let the pain just resonate; Cause in your head You cannot see; A single thing to live for. Close your eyes and go to sleep; Pick your poison steal your breath; Eat your heart out on this decay; You were right, what's there to live for?
