lyrics

My breath is labored and heavy
My clothes smell like smoke
I’ve been looking for an exit
But I don’t where to go
I’ve emptied quite a few bottles
But I don’t even have a cold
I can’t take my eyes off the sky
I’m looking to the stars for a new hope

The pharmacist knows me by name
I just can’t kick this cough, at least that’s what I say

My friends would probably all worry
And tell me I’m a mess
But I keep this all under wraps
Behind the guise of happiness
I cleverly sew it into songs
But never say it out loud
So people assume it’s a metaphor
Maybe it’s a cry for help

So I met this new girl, she seems pretty great
Every time she comes around I don’t feel the need to self medicate.

My breath is labored and heavy
My clothes smell like smoke
I’ve been looking for an exit
But I don’t where to go
Maybe I found a guiding light
But she’s not with me yet
So for now I’ll just follow suit
With the tip of my cigarette
