Nicotine

Verse 1
I can see all the words I'm gonna say
Flashing in my mind on marquee display
I write my words with continuous lines
To hide the fact my thoughts are discretized
I burned my notebooks and I burned all my art
In the dead of night, to wake up fresh start
To quit a part of me to ardently dismiss it
But when I close my eyes sleep doesn't visit

Chorus
I smoked those cigarettes to trade my time
For camaraderie and piece of mind
But all the that writing and the lucid dreams
Came before the nicotine

Verse 2
Who watches over us who stops to contain
The wherewithal, gumption and sweet aspertame
I'll never know you but I'll know a part
cnd for some time I'll hold it in my heart
I never liked the way it rains
So fine and misty you have to squint and strain
I love it when the drops bulge at the seems
cnd break on you and in seconds you're clean

Chorus

Post-Chorus
I tried to control
My immediate world
But I was floored
By the flow of it all
cnd with a rush of disgust
Mixed up with the lust
I went blank
