Worse Than a Cigarette

Worse Than a Cigarette

You're a manĀ 
Worse than a cigaretteĀ 
They light you upĀ 
You do the restĀ 
You're worse than a cigaretteĀ 
Burning through her heart and lungsĀ 
Until She's cold and deadĀ 
You freed the fireĀ 
Burnt the whole damn world
Until all that was consumedĀ 
Left the scared and unsure girlĀ 
She hid under the ashesĀ 
Face painted with dustĀ 
All of the people she had knownĀ 
All the machines were hot to the touchĀ 
She watched them all die awayĀ 
As she saw the flame approachĀ 
A man worse than a cigaretteĀ 
Who takes away her hopeĀ 
She inhaled all the smokey fumesĀ 
Entered her mind and soulĀ 
Leaving her to turn to embersĀ 
But the man would not let her goĀ 
She burned in agonyĀ 
Forever his living corpse
The man worse than a cigaretteĀ 
Who's love was harsh and coarseĀ 
She felt so trapped and isolatedĀ 
Caught in the world of fireĀ 
Now she's in loveĀ 
With the man made of desireĀ 
She laid all dirty all aloneĀ 
Except for that pulsing flame
The only thing she had leftĀ 
The man worse than a cigaretteĀ 
Who did not have a nameĀ
