Just A Cigarette

Can you hear these bells toll? It's Christmas sale at the mall Can you see the horizon burn? Glowing neon of grocery store So you believed they cut off your wings These marks on your back are whip scars What you thought was a morning star Was just a cigarette lit in the dark You dream of wielding a sword True hero that saves the world But you will die in bed, alone Scared, obese, most likely overdose So you believed they cut off your wings These marks on your back are whip scars What you thought was a morning star Was just a cigarette lit in the dark You already know That you are not in control You're being controlled You already know That you are not choosing You're being sold You already know That you are not buying You've been bought Gift-wrapped and delivered So you believed they cut off your wings These marks on your back are whip scars What you thought was a morning star Was just a cigarette lit in the dark Doors open when you knock Answers come when you ask So give up, bend over and pray I mean pay It's time to pay
