Nicotine

[Verse]
Breath tastes like ash in the morning
Sunrise drips through a cracked window
Yesterday's sins still crawling
In my lungs where the poison grows
[Chorus]
Nicotine you're my chain
Drag me down again again
Nicotine you're my shame
Burning slow beneath my skin
[Verse 2]
Fingers shake when the night falls heavy
Chasing ghosts in the cigarette glow
This hunger ain't kind it's deadly
I can't quit what I can't let go
[Prechorus]
Every drag feels like the last
But the need it hits so fast
[Chorus]
Nicotine you're my chain
Drag me down again again
Nicotine you're my shame
Burning slow beneath my skin
[Bridge]
Pack of lies rolled tight in paper
Promises made then burned away
A prison cell I built with vapor
Still I light it every day
