I used to love the smoke The calm it brings to my tortured mind I used to love a glass Filled up to the brim, chugging it down Drowning all my pain I used to love a bed Sleeping in it, For hours on end Wishing i could just sleep forever I used to love to swear As if every curse is a scream That no one would hear For the screams i heard are next to my room Sometimes, its not just shouts that i hear I used to love to lie That i was okay But i am not I used to love the needle Piercing my arm For the sting is nothing compared to the stabs at my back I used to love not knowing And knowing What is right but still chose what is wrong All of this Was before, But Before there was after, There was now

Before and After
I used to love the smoke The calm it brings to my tortured mind I used to love a glass Filled up to the brim, chugging it down Drowning all my pain I used to love a bed Sleeping in it, For hours on end Wishing i could just sleep forever I used to love to swear As if every curse is a scream That no one would hear For the screams i heard are next to my room Sometimes, its not just shouts that i hear I used to love to lie That i was okay But i am not I used to love the needle Piercing my arm For the sting is nothing compared to the stabs at my back I used to love not knowing And knowing What is right but still chose what is wrong All of this Was before, But Before there was after, There was now
