Smoking My Life Away

Smoking my life away With each drag I crash and burn A simple puff makes everything better Just one inhale no harm done Chemically challenged I may be My life revolves around my urges Weaknesses I believe that surround me Like this smoke I breath in A disguise it hides my fears An excuse to step away One foot further in that six foot hole A paper box leads me on Every decision involves a rolled answer So dependent on this cancer stick A soil for my complete failure To grow and die in Who cares if I continue or quit Who cares if its only my life I take Smoking it away Another dollar down the drain Another tumor seed planted in my garden of failed attempts Who knows why I smoke Why I take this direction I go Every Friday I buy that pack That pack of dreams made to destroy I cant wait to smoke my life away I can't wait to spend what I cant afford I can't wait when it's to late for me to reconsider this smoking gun Or can I; only you can decide Make it count because it is not about you The sooner you see this the better My friend Crash you know who you are.
