Tears and Cigarettes Lyrics by Truant Kids

Heart

2023

Verse 1: [Nile]
I was different
Picking up the pieces of the mission
You were golden
Sitting at the bottom of the ocean
Die-cast, open
Searching for the heroes of the olden
Free-fall, motion
Climb up through the action of the open
I wanna see you, be near you
Living off the bodies of the fearful
I wanna be you, can't feel you
Worlds fall to pieces when I hear you
Chorus: [All]
You were living on the edge
Sitting at thе bottom, standing on your head
I want tears and cigarettеs
Living on the off chance loving isn't dead
Verse 2: [Nile]
Wide eyed, lost soul
Witnessing the actions of the recoil
Standstill, sinkhole
Disappointed faces of the people
Who wanna be her
Live, breathe her
Always looking different in the mirror
Analogies, you, can't feel you
Thinking that the sticks and stones are real
Chorus: [All]
You were living on the edge
Sitting at the bottom, standing on your head
I want tears and cigarettes
Living on the off chance loving isn't dead
Bridge:[Walter]
And you know that I really hate to see you
Kicking rocks, drinking beers and wearing see-throughs
And you know that I really hate to see you
To see you
And you know I don't really wanna see you
Making memories is not enough to save you
And you know I don't really wanna see you
To see you
And you know I'm not the one who's gonna feel you
Nothing I can do will be enough to free you
And you know I'm not the one who's gonna feel you
To feel you
And you know that this is hard enough to see through
This is what we need to finally have a breakthrough
This is what we need to finally have a breakthrough
A breakthrough
Chorus: [All]
You were living on the edge
Sitting at the bottom, standing on your head
I want tears and cigarettes
Living on the off chance loving isn't dead
