I've been craving a smoke
So I've taken up gum
It's been such a long time
Since that was a habit of mine

Cigarettes and coffee
Compliment each other better
Like did we before this tragedy
When it was we were together

Your kiss was like a sip from my mug
Sweet and soft but quickly removed
A sip, save from poison, is never regretted
And you were far from poison on my lips

A love that could have been and was
Has somehow vanished in the dust
Now daily life is bleak and boring
Thoughts of you are full of mourning

Those thoughts of you guide me through
The dreams of yesterday
Where all I see are shadows of you and me
Blocking out the warming of the suns morning rays

The coldest warmth I've ever felt
As the sun rises higher in the sky
I miss the peaceful silence we used to live in
It's a shame it was built on a lie

A lie that can't be justified
In what hope it had to gain
On my lips your kiss still sits
As your poison runs through my veins
