Cigarettes
He draws out, the cigarette smoke trail spins
Thoughts crowd the room, 'til it's only him
He feels it, he lives for it
Spent half a life pushing it forward, what he wouldn't give for it
Saw naysayers put in their places
Feels like he's scaling the foothills of greatness
Holding all four aces, he braced
for the next few years being some for the ages
No time to heed, pride come before the fall
For now he shines, all rose, no thorn
Full bloom, like his plan fool proof
High noon sun beaming, spoke to soon
The dark clouds scream towards his door
and a house of cards, it cant stand in the storm
Wind picked up, sunshine stopped
The world came down with the very first drop
So light me up, like a cigarette
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
So when im no more they'll know i was here before, so let me just burn
He still gunning, beaten but refused to be broken
What some call delusional others call focus
Man he's focussed, came back for the re up
Nows not the time to kick back with his feet up
Stands in the rain with his face to the heavens
And his arms outstretched from the pain that he let in
World keep kicking hard, aint gonna get him
He's willing to fight and die for the path that he heads in
And thats a bittersweet faith
Knowing high and lows will come boy but them's the breaks
It's pride, it's madness, it's seeing what others can only imagine
And then reaching out to grab it
Saying 'I can say that whatever comes happens
but i followed my heart my goddamn it'

Exposing reality to magic
It's hope, and thats all it is, he walked through fire and its all he came back with, saying
So light me up, like a cigarette
and just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
So when im no more they'll know i was here before, so let me just burn
Come what may, some memories fade
But some stay as vivid as the moment they were made
Dreams of the days where he stood like a mountain
It's been a while since then but who's counting
He lies awake, lies in wait, for the light of the morning to bless him, and shine again
Summon the rise of the fallen
Laces tied, comeback trail still walking
Lives for it, lifetime on the mish for it
Man, there aint a thing he didn't give for it
Make a bet till his last sun sets
He'll be pushing for the light, mate he ain't done yet
Head held high slow danced through his hell
Still a point there he gotta prove to himself
And, the beat drops, same songs on next
So he sparks up a cigarette, takes a deep breath and says
Light me up, like a cigarette
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
So when im no more they'll know i was here before, so let me just burn
Light me up, like a cigarette
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Strike a spark, and ignite it in the dark
So when im no more they'll know i was here before, so let me just burn
