Lone Cigarette

That one cigarette, lone cigarette
To tell you the similarities
Between the lone cigarette and you.
How it burns, how it burns
Light so bright, lone cigarette
Evil companion, alone as you.

That one cigarette, lone cigarette
Speaks so much to me tonight
Burning bright, and finally put out.
Like life, like everything you do.
Questions; the dream you reach for
Slowly burning away.

That one cigarette, lone cigarette
Do something... your life is growing shorter
By the puff, you're burning away to ash.
It's talking to me, the lone cigarette
That one cigarette, lone cigarette
And with it, I'm alone tonight.
