Only Smoke When You Are Drunk

Allright, here's the indie song I promised you.

How does it feel to taste it?
In your mouth
and on your tongue

How does it feel to see it glow
instead of you?

How does it feel to draw
that venom
down your lungs

When you know as well as I
you hate it

Things are never as good as they seem
And still we long to taste it
If we do our dreams dissolve
You get too close,
too real,
too mean

So only smoke when you are drunk
And blame it on the drinks
Only smoke when you are drunk

Only inhale, exhale, all that junk
when you are drunk
Only smoke when you are drunk

All the glamour in a pill
for you to take
The easy escape in a kill
for you to make

How does it feel when your addictions clash?
You know that you're addicted
How does it feel to be controlled?
It takes your role

When we do our dreams dissolve

So only smoke when you are drunk
and blame it on the drinks
Only smoke when you are drunk

Only smoke when you are drunk
Only exhale, inhale
When you're drunk

How does it feel to be addicted to life?

Right, so to begin with the form of this song was quite different from what I usually write, but while typing it, it grew more and more similar to my normal style. I've tried to keep the originial aura of the lyrics while rewriting it, and still think it breathes of something a bit unusual, a bit new. Hope you'll enjoy this slow song, about being tempted, addicted, and drawn to things we know we have no business doing with - I enjoyed it a lot while writing it (singing in my car at 1 AM in the morning as it should be).
