I breathe in deep the poison
I fill my decayed lungs
This body and its hopes will die
And to the dust become
I had not planned to do it
I do not want it still
The monkey on my back instructs
And I obey his will
While those around me fell down
I calmly looked away
Pretended not to notice
And went on with my day
Though tighten as my chest did
Though shallow was my breath
Though nothing as important
As my friend, my cigarette
Deceived I realise now
So easy in hindsight
Too late was I to notice
And now I see the light
This shell it has betrayed me
It rots beneath my nose
I smell the death upon me
From my head down to my toes
I have not long to tell you
Of my sorry, pointless life
The cancer eats away inside
And robs me of my time
I wish I had known better
To know what I now know
But now I know it’s pointless
So to the earth I go

Fuck yeah!
