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?
