You got a light?
*illustration; cigarette as a skyscraper with windows, burning*
Burnt out
Like a city on fire in the rain
Like a cigarette in the wind (burnt out before even lit up)
A candle with a tired wick
You got a fag?
You know how to roll?
Before you know it the stranger you approached knows more secrets about you than anyone
And your life sits casually
On many pairs of unfamiliar ears
Chemicals
In the smoke
In the air
In our bodies
In our minds
The embers burn and again
Unwind just for a moment
Accidentally on purpose we unwind
Burn like coffee on your tongue
The shock of the heat sensational
Burn like CDs burn
It's not what you take from a place, it's what you leave in a place
Make a mark before you go
Fuel the burn
With emotional attachments you have made
Your second-hand obsessions
Burn the bridges that take you backwards
Structures which imitate neurones
Holding you back
Burn the bridges
They can't take you backwards if you put up a flame
Nothing burns like losing your light
