Words that bring a smile mean little to suicides
Whispers lost in the breeze running for their lives
Searching for a reason, voices fail to spit
Amber cigarette tip glows as a memory is lit
Sweet roots soaked in vodka rusting bones inside
A tick outside a box, memories feed on the mind

Could not save a friend from a window view
Falling into a trance, deep in love with you
Squeezing pumps of greed, flinching for sex
Drizzled thought vessels, this he regrets
Claustrophobic in smoke needled with his hero
Bejewelled fingers, no gold, now a zero

City lines and pretty diamond lights
Words beneath bruised skin, how love bites
Cleansing happiness pinches a bad nerve
Eyes hold the photographs we never meant to preserve
On the tip of a tongue, love and jealousy combined
All for something that's just in the mind.
