A few nights ago I was walking under the stars and as I looked up, I said to myself "What has my life become?"
I walk these empty streets, but I'm not really there.
I pull out my lighter and another cigarette.
My esophagous is on fire as I inhale the smoke and taste it's breath upon my tongue.
This is what I wanted, right?
I wanted to live here. It was my choice.
I wanted this cigarette.
If I loved it so much, why did I ever quit?
Was it their cancer?
Was it their fucked up life?
No. I think it was the guilt. The thirst for something more than this.
Because cigarettes won't fix my problems.
They're not going to make me visible again.
I'm still a gohst to this world that I left behind.
But I had to leave.
That night was so much more than a few cigarettes.
It was the night I would leave everything behind.
My Lighter Is Cooler Than Your Lighter
