lirik lagu sheryl chan - secrets for nicotine
you built the ground
with summer clouds
there was no roof
the sky sparkled
but nothing lives
in thin air above
saturated dreams
drifting by they’ll heave
i’ll let you play
god for a day
come and suck me high
you know you’ll leave me dry
dark storms were brewing
behind watercolor clouds
disturbing discovery
it’s the shallow pools that drown
the rescue ark was leaving
no one boards alone
went back only to find
you were first in line
what i would give to break
all your crystal tears
there’s nothing i can do
with fossilized fears
murder in the cellar
from a festering hole
so many little clues
too little evidence
confirm the diagnosis
sugar overdose
take the medicine
by throwing it away
a baby voodoo doll
never left the cradle
mother had to smother her
when daddy pulled the trigger
[chorus]
i traded a secret
for nicotine
you kept the change
in a torn pocket
carried me through
then stole my shoes
it’s disgusting how
you still can smile
strike a matchstick
live on borrowed light
draw b-tterflies to die
in flames of peppermint
pull a bunch of roses
from your magic hat
painted all sorts of red
they smelled of almonds
take the th-rns to make
a crown upon your head
crucified yourself
but never really bled
showed you where i stayed
the lights were always on
told you where i kept
spare keys under the mat
room’s in a mess
tables coffee-stained
you stirred the ashes in
the broken urn of dreams
no life behind the windows
corridor is haunted
but your ghost has fled
far beyond the walls
[chorus]
i traded a secret
for nicotine
you kept the change
in a torn pocket
carried me through
then stole my shoes
it’s disgusting how
you still can smile
think you left behind
your scripts of apology
i’m sure they belong
to you and not to me
gold lapel statuses
you signed your autograph
on a new ticket stub
to the same old show
there was no role for me
just a backstage p-ss
but honey i won’t keep
your regrets for my pets
