I'm feeling pretty broken down
This morning.
I woke with the Sun
But my bones aren't working.
I've fallen in love
With the smokey feeling
So what can I do now
But stare at the ceiling?
Now I'm slowly walking home
And I can't see in the light.
Should wash this out of my hair
No sleep for me tonight.
That's just the truth of it
Forgive my forgeries
Please bring the rain
To come and purge me
I hid my lies
Within my honesty
This air is poison
The poison that will cure me.
I was silent as I walked
Silent as I lay
Some disease of my mind
Though I don't know the name
Her head down below
Heat between my legs.
But all that I lust for
Are the fumes
That rot my brain.
She left alone
As I lay there asleep
I didn't want her back
Not for anything
She was a lie
And she always will be
I can't go back there
Back to the edge of the city
It left me stranded
But I don't I care now.
All I want is the smoke
And the water
To drag me back down.
