Smoking Lyrics by OK Koala

All Of It, All At Once

2022

[Verse 1:]
I wanna start smoking cigarettes
I’m sure that’s something that I will regret
But I don’t care
I’m tired of breathing in empty air
I wanna feel something in my lungs
I want to hold something on my tongue
And then exhale
Because the air is thin and getting stale
(Whatever takes me away from here)

[Chorus:]
I’m throwing away
The illusion of purity
For some semblance of security
Maybe it’s nice to have something I can hold onto

[Verse 2:]
I wanna keep drinking alcohol
Until I run into a blackout wall
A few more sips
I’m lost for words, so I’ll just numb my lips
But I guess addiction is in my blood
So let my veins be a rainbow flood
Of foreign flows
I barely care if everybody knows
(Whatever takes me away from here)

[Chorus:]
I’m throwing away
The illusion of purity
For some semblance of security
Maybe it’s nice to have something I can hold onto
I’m throwing away
The illusion of purity
For some semblance of security
Maybe it’s nice to have something I can hold onto

[Bridge:]
I’ll take a pill for the aches
Another pill for the shakes
Another pill for my brain
But all the pills I could take
Could never give me a change
Just a pretty escape
I am numb and I'm dumb and...

[Chorus:]
I’m throwing away
The illusion of purity
For some semblance of security
Maybe it’s nice to have something I can hold onto
I’m throwing away
The illusion of purity
For some semblance of security
Maybe it’s nice to have something I can hold onto
