Ashtrays and Defeat

Contributed by Exodus-On-Life on Friday, 13th February 2004 @ 01:48:45 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Cigarettes and heartbreak
Fuel the pain that always was
Ash that flies in my face
The drink escapes me as it always does

Swallow the problems different
Kill the sorrow with the drink
Smoke in my eyes and smiling
Surrounded by hatred and I sink

Walk down to the graveyard
Bury me to my knees
A few of us could never disappear
But no one ever sees

You've said we've had enough
In the shadows where my head hangs low
I whisper feelings onto ignorant ears
And it's late but I still won't go

Fighting back the tears
Slam the radio into the ashen ground
Forget that stupid song
Forget that stupid sound

Voices as the wind blows
And the smoke that fills the room
Swallow all my problems
Company kept with a full moon

The air waves are filling
I'm drowning in the cup
I've got 'til tomorrow
Fill me back up

You never could be joking
I smile as I turn away
I'll blow this smoke in your beautiful eyes
I'll forget you some other day
