it starts with fire,
burning from the end of your lit cigarette, burning through your lungs,
light yourself another smoke,
make me feel like you care.

it starts with just one drink,
wine with a touch of cyanide,
will you never be free,
look what this is doing to me.

it ends with fire and one more drink,
tasting to your life,
as we watch you sink,
into the earth so deep.
