Both Ends of a Cigarette

In a crowded room I still feel lonely

Cause the memory of us crawls beneath my skin

So I find a new distraction every weekend

And every Monday swear I’m never doing it again 

But I still light up the night with a motel matchbox

Laughing with the devil while my world goes down in flames

I know I pay the price for every vice

But ain’t ready to change

So I just live with my regrets and keep on burning

Both ends of a cigarette

I know damn well that I’m the one who pulled the trigger

Had my reasons for leaving, but I’m still bleeding red

So now I got a death grip on a cowboy-killer

And a glass raised to the demons living rent free in my head

But I still light up the night with a motel matchbox

Laughing with the devil while my world goes down in flames

I know I pay the price for every vice

But ain’t ready to change

So I just live with my regrets and keep on burning

Both ends of a cigarette

The clocks gonna tick down til it stops counting

Yet I never learn from tides that turn, and seasons they just come and go

But like a whispered secret something keeps calling me back to

Chasing every high to drown the lows

But I still light up the night with a motel matchbox

Laughing with the devil while my world goes down in flames

I know I pay the price for every vice

But ain’t ready to change

So I just live with my regrets and keep on burning

Both ends of a cigarette
