about

This is a song about a struggling conflicted smoker.

lyrics

The serpentine mist slowly creeping.
Struggling to breathe instead of sleeping.
Every day's pledge ends up defeated.
Heavy the heart with lungs depleted.

Choices clouded by clouds of future death.
Sucking seductive fumes 'til nothing's left.
Wheezing weakness for our loved one's bereft.
Walk through this smoke but it's still a net.

Slowly but surely we grow weak & poorly.
Playing with fire with an empty desire.
Weathered fingers where slow horror lingers.
Smoking & choking, the lost super kings.
Broken this throat sings, "self damage we bring."

Dried leaves of what once belonged to life.
Once lived on water & air, now poison is rife.
When all that's left is wrong as a right.
Living to death is a strange kind of life.
