the nightmares keep me up
all the ones where you're far away
all the nightmares keep me up
I think I'm losing myself
and I know you're feeling it too
I know you think you've lost yourself
all the drugs and alcohol and all the deep blues
turn that frown upside down
because I think I found myself in you
Did you know I've been known to down a pack?
all the smoke in my lungs fills up the space you left
wish you knew the pain in the attack
it leaves a bigger hole where the air was supposed to be
the city burns, pretty baby let's sit back
we can't save them now so let's watch it burn
who knew the smoke could be so romantic?
we can't save us now so let's let one burn
we'll share and watch our smoke get lost
in the burning black that used to be our home
did you know I knew about that pack?
all the smoke left a scar in the place we left
I guess you know the pain in this attack
it left a black hole where the people were supposed to be
they all smile and act like nothing's wrong
but we know, we saw, we saw it all
we know, we saw, we watched it burn down
so we'll smile and act like nothing's wrong
I think I'm losing myself
and I know you're feeling it too
I know you think you've lost yourself
all the drugs and alcohol and all the deep blues
turn that frown upside down
because I think I found myself in you
We'll be good, just as soon
as we get that alcohol
in our system
we'll be good, just as soon
as we get that oxygen
in our system
we'll sit back and watch it escape
crack another one
under this moonlit cityscape
we'll sit back and watch it burn
light another one
above this burning cityscape

I think my favorite line is "under this moonlit cityscape" It really paints a picture in my mind.
excellent poem! Sometime i feel like like like the world is all smoked and i can not see my way. but then i remember the stars and they show me the way home!
