Pass a stranger Nod a polite hello Choke on the smell of Cigarette smoke Blooming all around Hold breath till It's passed Release and gasp Fresh new air But he wasn't the only smoker Around here You can get cancer from Second-hand smoke, you know? I'm convince we'll all Die of cancer anyways Cancer of the body or Cancer of the heart Something eating away All of us and we can't Self-diagnose the chaos Looking for something In all the wrong places Surface level satisfactions Nicotine and addictions Rotting away the soul And we're all dying of Some cancer Cancer of the soul Looking for answers Failing to look past ourselves For Something Someone To ease the pain Satisfy the ache of soul Clean up a world where No one smokes Their souls into Oblivion

Cigarette Smoke
Pass a stranger Nod a polite hello Choke on the smell of Cigarette smoke Blooming all around Hold breath till It's passed Release and gasp Fresh new air But he wasn't the only smoker Around here You can get cancer from Second-hand smoke, you know? I'm convince we'll all Die of cancer anyways Cancer of the body or Cancer of the heart Something eating away All of us and we can't Self-diagnose the chaos Looking for something In all the wrong places Surface level satisfactions Nicotine and addictions Rotting away the soul And we're all dying of Some cancer Cancer of the soul Looking for answers Failing to look past ourselves For Something Someone To ease the pain Satisfy the ache of soul Clean up a world where No one smokes Their souls into Oblivion
