Cigarettes And Cyanide

These walls that lie before me are all I have left of my past 
The scars bring back the memories I wish I didn't have 
Enclose me in your boiling rain in which I can't escape 
Cut myself with my lies and all of my mistakes 
This place feels like Eden to the world outside 
No love, no pain or sorrow, just a place where I can hide 
I regret ignoring all of your advice 
Now I wish I listened because it could've saved my life 
But if I could turn back time and do it all again 
I'd do everything the same, I love the mess I'm in
