My lungs swell up to my neck
The air is thick
I cannot breathe
I filter out precious oxygen
Only to taste smoke
You're not second hand, but here, take mine
It's a promise for once, but this time, no
My ears are bleeding with a bad deception
My eyes are seeing through a false perception
Let's take some time to think about our decisions
You're forcing my hand, bleeding me dry
Unrelenting pressure in the back of my eye
Shame on me for sticking around
It's time to wake up and get the fuck out
Do you remember when we lived in sin
It happened again and again and again
Sitting around and waiting for change
Hoping for the best?
Give me a break
