Black Tar & Nicotine

[Intro]


Raised myself for a million lies
I could sell religion to Jesus Christ
A broken home, I left behind

Gave up everything for a couple of lines


I know my time is growing near
My heart is empty and there s no tears
I wasted so many years

Lost in the bottle till I disappeared


Heading down the same routine

My throne is high just like a king

But black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams


The world out there is bitter cold
Filled my pockets with blood and stone
The streets I grew up on, I called home

Friends I had left me long ago


Running far and in-between

I had it all at seventeen

But black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

[Solo]


One day heaven came to take my pain

With a fist full of pills and a needle stuck in my vein

Tears roll down like sweat on my face

I didn t know what to do cause I was afraid


I m sitting alone in this motel room
Paper thin walls and a rack for my shoes
Don t know where I m going next

Now I lay here in this bed


Cause black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

Cause black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

Cause black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

Cause black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
