Like cigarettes and gasoline

I light a match and watch this scene

Burn away in front of me

Ashes of my misery



I swear sometimes I think this life is killing me



I swear it's killin me

All our shattered hopes

And our long dead dreams

The wreckage that we all try to keep

From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams



Sun bleached bones and withered trees

Slowly rotting just like me

Empty bottles broken glass

My resolve is fading fast



I swear sometimes I think this life is killing me



I swear it's killin me

All our shattered hopes

And our long dead dreams

The wreckage that we all try to keep

From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams
