What It Kills

You are killing yourself,
We tried to save you.

You keep smoking
To make your lungs go black

You stick that crap in your mouth
And we yell and scream at you

You just won't stop killing yourself
No matter what we say

You are our friend
We don't want you to die

You know what it can do to you
So why the hell do you keep smoking?

You are killing yourself
We tried to save you

But this is just absurd
It's just as bad a commiting suicide...
