&ldquo;Each and every one of us has a fire that burns inside us. They can try like hell to put it out, but as long as we know in our minds who we are meant to be, they will never stand a chance.&rdquo; <br /> ― Andy Biersack

I say once more
This is the last
A puff here
A joint there
Never ending
Breathing in the smoke
Sick but so sweet
Burns my lungs
Setting me on fire
Inside out
Hallucenigens
Pleasure from whats not there
Beauty of something unreal
I believe it
I believe what I see
There right in front of me
Hours go by
Blunt after blunt goes
Whispers of smoke
Lingering in the air
I know I've failed again
An addiction I cannot win
