Cigarettes
See the smoke fill the air
Hurting us and you
Why must something so bad, be so good to you?
Endless lives lost to the smoke you inhale
Yet they smile form above
Laughing at your pain
Swimming in the money
Which kills every day?
Don’t you see, they’re winning while innocence suffers from below
How can I speak?
When I choke on smoke?
Your letting them decide
Letting your heart die
Lungs collide
I see people I love, smoking their lives away
Their breath faint
Their lives slowing fading
Does anybody hear what I say?!
Why buy something that kills?
Not only is it hurting them but
Your mother, father, siblings
Imagine them holding the cigarette
Now there gone
My family smokes and ignores my warnings
No matter where I go
They are there
Up the stairs I go
Even down below
I breathe the air you taint
Like bad breath in the morning
My lungs dissolving
Inside me
Your smoke clouds my vision
Bring back the burning lives lost
The burning sensation never leaves my eyes
Floating around in me
In a strange abyss
You haunt my health
Disease spreads through my lungs
Rise again
May I never escape cigarettes?
