The cigarettes that left your mouth Put burn marks on my arms The words that left your mouth Made no marks But burned just the same I recoil at the smell Of anything burning, Cigars at dinner or fireplaces Send me into a dark corner of my mind I lose myself, forgetting why I came.

Burned
The cigarettes that left your mouth Put burn marks on my arms The words that left your mouth Made no marks But burned just the same I recoil at the smell Of anything burning, Cigars at dinner or fireplaces Send me into a dark corner of my mind I lose myself, forgetting why I came.
