I'm a nicotine addict
body made of ash and tar
poorly degaussed in a boy, about ye high
how do I become a man? numbering is not enough...
how many times must I take a fall?

peel away my fragment crust
you'll find only crumpled edges,
my memory
I'm forgetting, like a fire at those edges
practically waiting to crumple into ashes...

I'm a nicotine addict
body drained of life.
white like a corps,
lonely as a dog
I making no past for myself

Roses, which are red,
take me away for a while
redness that warms you inside
the saddest thing would be
a frozen rose

and here He comes again
The brown rat eating at my insides
causing pain at the tips of my fingers
she knows me... but she doesn't remember me
At all

I'm a nicotine addict
body fluid with black
the one person that I love, truly
the one person that i long for
is a million miles west...

I'm a nicotine addict...

and it rains...
