see,
lies are like a cigarette
you smoke and smoke
till your heart cant take no more
then you are gone

these black sins
ruin me everyday
as i inhale them
eroding me away

they freeze my mind
from what is the truth
like icicles frozen
on a cold winter day

this poisonous inhalation
weakens me
as life
acts as my dealer

suppling me with a lethal dose everyday.

these black secrets
freeze me in a state of denial
for i can only breath the lies
im told everyday

the lies
suffocate me
so i can not inhale the truth
it wages war in my mind

but one day,
i shall asphyxiate out of
this frozen trance
i will inhale

and inhale the truth
i shall blow away
the pained lies

i will be free.

and the cigarette
shall be extinguished
and i may be calm
and free once again

(b.d.s.)
