To each his own seems to be our motto<br /> and since this is the case<br /> I wish the aliens would come attack us today.<br /> Because only then would we unite as one world,<br /> instead of being separated by our own<br /> governments, prejudices, religions, and races.


Keep my head above the smoke
Or you will drag me down
I could live another day
but I think you'd rather watch me drown.

And so I take another drag from m cigarette.
I understand they'll leave me nowhere but dead.
You threaten to leave, but I haven't quit yet.
You know I would, if i could breathe you in instead.

Then again this plot will twist around and round.
A revolution is sure to begin.
A lit cigarette between my lips, makes more than just a sound.
No resolution lies within.
No resolution lies within.


And so I take another drag from m cigarette.
I understand they'll leave me nowhere but dead.
You threaten to leave, but I haven't quit yet.
You know I would, if i could breathe you in instead.

You take my breath away,
pluck my heart strings-your instrument to play.
Will you accompany me?
down the road of broken hopes and ill-shattered dreams?
These are things that I've never said.
These are things never left from my head.
You say I should quit but the only problem is,
I'd wanna breathe you in, instead.


And so I take another drag from m cigarette.
I understand they'll leave me nowhere but dead.
You threaten to leave, but I haven't quit yet.
You know I would, if i could breathe you in instead.

I hear your voice loud and clear
And it's bringing me down.
I close myself off, I'd rather not hear.
Like I said, You're ready to see me drown.

In a cloud of smoke from my cigarette,
my last, my final drag.
I quit you and my smokey revolution.
I've thrown up my white flag.

Never breathing you in instead.


The author's comments:
This piece was inspired by my ex, he was an abusive boy. He hated my smoking, but the stress he put on me drove me to my carton of cigarettes. Until I finally realized that both relationships were toxic. And so? I quit them both.
