Cigarettes
We're buying cheap regrets like cigarettes in the name of a love that we would just forget. And everything I ever said was everything I ever meant.
From spelling bees to drama queens. Could we serve no purpose in between? Everybody's standing still with all eyes on me.
And I say 'Everybody's doing fine. It's salt and vinegar in time. You can lay your head and you can weep but we both know you'll never sleep.'
Now these lazy days will fade away, victims of lonely razor blades. Slashing through our only hopes and glory fades away and I say
Beautiful metaphor, how you've saved my life a thousand times before but when will we ever realize we're self absorbed?
