lyrics
It’s a long draw
When you breathe all your solace
Through cigarette filters
Laced with nicotine splinters
And a cheap high
Gaudy neon signs
A bleached smile at a mister
And a full-body blister
It’s like everybody’s scared of one another
And just inventing crueler ways to cope with pain
You’re gonna kill yourself trying not to suffer
It’s a downright shame
To become a slave
To a digital brothel
A diseased mental motel
When your waking dream’s
Pornographic scenes
And reality’s dressed like a whore
It’s like everybody’s scared of one another
And just inventing crueler ways to cope with pain
You’re gonna kill yourself trying not to suffer
As the band leader lights up his smoke
Your cup starts to tremble
It’s like everybody’s scared of one another
And just inventing crueler ways to cope with pain
You’re gonna kill yourself trying not to suffer
You’re free to taste freedom my brother
But you’re quenching all your thirst with acid rain
You’re gonna kill yourself trying not to suffer
You’re gonna kill yourself trying not to suffer
