I sit on my back step and I light a cigarette
pulling the smoke into my lungs, I sit and think
funny how such a short life, can have so many regrets
throwing out more smoke, letting my life shrink
the voices scream in my head, but I refuse to listen
I just look to the horizon, and let my eyes glaze
staring about, I begin to grow quite distant
Days are endless to me, the nights are too short
I wonder if this is all there is to life, is it?
Hoping it's not, because as I sit here, I'm so bored
let's cut to the chase, baby, lets be realistic
bombs flying, world leaders playing cock of the walk
all that matters now though, is me, myself and I
Why should I be the one that walks the line of chalk?
And I'm scared, but why do I feel like I have to lie?
Take another drag, and kill myself a little more
the days are monotonous, all running together
there's no end to the days, sunlight bares no shore
weeks, months, years, bound together like a ragdoll in leather
whatever, I pull the last bit of poison and flick the butt
walking to my room, the silence shrieks, I won't yield to it
I crawl into my bed, unable to sleep, caught in insomnia's rut
a thousand thoughts flying through my head, my brain filled with fit
Finally, sleep overtakes me, a dreamless black void, I'm grateful
Wallowing in the darkness, thirsting for the blackness it keeps
wanting more than this world can give me, this world so dull
alas, I arise, stirring in my bed, and suddenly, my eyelids leap
Groaning against the little sun that comes through my covered windows
I bring myself a little closer to the edge of this repitition called life
I walk through my house, thinking of not the highs, but of all the lows
The only pain is boredom, everything succumbs to it...it's the only strife
Opening the door to the bright sunlight, hitting my eyes, making them lit
I sit on my back step, and I light yet another cigarette
