I set my eyes on fire
\nBurning out in the night
\nWasted smoke signals in the dark\u2026 <\/p>
\n\n\n\n
I set my house on fire
\nTrying to smoke out
\nAll the traitors.
\nI found myself burning to death
\nAlone in a single room. <\/p>
\n\n\n\n
I set myself on fire.
\nIt was a mistake. <\/p>
\n\n\n\n
The cigar went out.
\nI spent too much time on other things
\nAs it died in my hand.
\nMy throat hurts and I have been coughing up phlegm.
\nI light it again
\nBut this time
\nI won\u2019t inhale
\nOr at least I will fight
\nThe temptation. <\/p>
\n\n\n\n
Getting through life is like
\nHow to survive smoking cigars \u2013
\nLight up, take a puff,
\nJust once in a while<\/p>
\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t ever inhale.
Never inhale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
