Strip down my clothes
Explore my scars
Ask me about my ink
The wrapper floats
Flaming desire loathes
I give in
Music, too loud
Melody, not soothing
Burning cigarettes in doubt
My head is rushing
Dare not look at the sky
I envy the birds
Flying through the moonlight
While I sway to a lie
Take me out
Tell me it’s okay,
Fill my void
Pretend to stay
Believe you I’m fine
In a small town life
Smoking grass for a high
Another meaningless day
After an empty night
