As I light a cigarette smoke dances around like a wave,
inevitably becoming the dragon I feared.
Tasting the darkness bringing me down,
so up the feeling reaching new heights.
I try not to weep before my suffering,
weak in my dreams my promise is dead.
Opening my eyes into this realm of illusion,
finding the cloud that holds my eyes in the light.
Rain falls up to me as I float on her wings,
breathing in the fumes, making my way home.
Death seeking life in a hellish vision of truth,
taking back what I never meant to give away.
Fading out before closing in I stand in a crowd of solitude,
feelings embrace me as darkness steps away.
No hope for me now, no way to escape,
lost in her eyes this trance hides my soul.
Dragon’s eyes peering into my heart dreaming blood,
piercing my flesh with a bite so beautiful.
Cold breath taken in as I rise to fall,
a bump to remember, a moment I can’t forget.
Above the ground I hover away from reality,
chasing a dream I can never catch up to.
Lights hurting eyes, dark burning love,
falling, falling, I am falling away from life.
