Cigarettes - Illy/Hue Blanes
He draws out the cigarette smoke trail spins
Thoughts crowd the room 'til it's only him
He feels it he lives for it
Spent half a life pushing it forward what he wouldn't give for it
Saw naysayers put in their places
Feels like he's scaling the foothills of greatness
Holding all four aces he braced
For the next few years being some for the ages
No time to heed pride come before the fall
For now he shines all rose no thorn
Full bloom like his plan fool proof
High noon sun beaming spoke to soon
The dark clouds scream towards his door
And a house of cards it can't stand in the storm
Wind picked up sunshine stopped
The world came down with the very first drop
So light me up like a cigarette
And just let me burn catch fire and burn catch fire and burn
Light a spark and ignite it in the dark
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before
So let me just burn
He still gunning beaten but refused to be broken
What some call delusional others call focus
Man he's focused came back for the re up
Now's not the time to kick back with his feet up
Stands in the rain with his face to the heavens
And his arms outstretched from the pain that he let in
World keep kicking hard ain't gonna get him
He's willing to fight and die for the path that he heads in
And that's a bittersweet faith
Knowing high and lows will come boy but them's the breaks
It's pride it's madness it's seeing what others can only imagine
And then reaching out to grab it
Saying I can say that whatever comes happens
But I followed my heart my goddamn it
Exposing reality to magic
It's hope and that's all it is
He walked through fire and its all he came back with saying
So light me up like a cigarette
And just let me burn catch fire and burn catch fire and burn
Light a spark and ignite it in the dark
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before
So let me just burn
Come what may some memories fade
But some stay as vivid as the moment they were made
Dreams of the days where he stood like a mountain
It's been a while since then but who's counting
He lies awake lies in wait
For the light of the morning to bless him and shine again
Summon the rise of the fallen
Laces tied comeback trail still walking
Lives for it lifetime on the mish for it
Man there ain't a thing he didn't give for it
Make a bet till his last sun sets
He'll be pushing for the light mate he ain't done yet
Head held high slow danced through his hell
Still a point there he gotta prove to himself
And the beat drops same songs on next
So he sparks up a cigarette takes a deep breath and says
Light me up like a cigarette
And just let me burn catch fire and burn catch fire and burn
Light a spark and ignite it in the dark
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before
So let me just burn
Light me up like a cigarette
And just let me burn catch fire and burn catch fire and burn
Strike a spark and ignite it in the dark
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before
So let me just burn
