[Verse 1]
Coughing clouds, my lungs a cemetery,
Each drag a eulogy, pain temporary.
Ashtray a diary, scribbles in grey,
Flame kisses paper, memories decay.
Eyes redder than the neon sign,
Fingers tremble, gripping time.
World feels hollow, walls cave in,
Smoke signals sent, but no one's listening.
[Chorus]
Blowing smoke to the sky, hope it carries my cries,
Every puff a goodbye, every exhale denies.
Burn it down, let it fade, can’t escape from the haze,
But the pain won’t stay away, the pain won’t stay away.
[Verse 2: Second Singer]
Filter’s charred, heart’s just the same,
Nicotine hugs, but it’s a cold embrace.
Paranoia creepin’, shadows on the wall,
Thoughts scream loud, drowning every call.
Burnt fingertips, but I can’t let go,
Chasing numbness, but the hurt still shows.
Cigarette ends like the friendships too,
All turned to ash, now what’s left to lose?
[Chorus: Both Singers]
Blowing smoke to the sky, hope it carries my cries,
Every puff a goodbye, every exhale denies.
Burn it down, let it fade, can’t escape from the haze,
But the pain won’t stay away, the pain won’t stay away.
