i'm alone here
forever isolated
skin and bone
every blemish
captured in the cellophane wrapping
of your Marlboro box
alone here
pressed against the cancer
that eats at your lungs
and is devouring you from the inside
just let me your last cigarette
breathe me in
draw my heart in the ashes at your feet
and scatter them with the boot
you used to walk all over me
i'm alone here
while she's haunting your clothes
and haunting your smile
and your words
and the scars on your arms
she's your every breath
and every thought
and the ever-present melody in your voice
(you know every time you opened your lips
i thought heaven was spilling out
does she?)
so this is what it feels like to be human
just forget me
just let me be dead to you
let me be dead to you
let me be dead to you
let me be dead to you
