Dying Proof

You need more heat

This is a recurring theme

You die in flames in my dreams

"I need to get more sleep"

This is what you always say

Lying in a junkie's way

Finding you turning blue

It's easy to discern the truth

I can see what not to do

One look at you the dying proof

Pick up your cigarette

Forget what I said

It's so hard to care what you do

You say "look at me

Respectfully." I can't

Finding you turning blue

It's easy to discern the truth

I can see what not to do

One look at you the dying proof

If life is a performance

And I am not an actor

Am I supposed to lie down and die?
