lyrics

I've got one cigarette to last me the day
This old notebook is losing it's pages
I can't remember the last time that I slept
And I try to live with my head in the sky

I'm sinking in this thing they call life
I try to swim but I have too much weight on my shoulders

The nicotine sinks into my skin
My lungs burn as my head spins 'round
I scream but there's no one there to listen
I hit my head on the ground 'cause I can no longer stand

I'm sinking in this thing they call life
I try to swim but I have too much weight on my shoulders

The hatred I feel for myself keeps me down
I try to fly but I only cry at night
The moon is full the seventh seal is open
I kiss the seventh angel on his lips

I'm sinking in this thing they call life
I try to swim but I have too much weight on my shoulders

Good Morning world can't you see what you've done to me
Your God has ruined my life one to many times
I try to run but I only trip and fall

The blood runs down my arms as life rolls gently with it
I dy I dy
