Cigarettes & Empty Threats (Remastered)

[Intro, Muted guitar riff with punchy drums] Yeah... Alright... [Verse 1, Dry sarcastic vocals] You slam the door like in a movie scene Cheap red lipstick and gasoline Throw another glass against the wall Five more minutes till you call Your friends all say I’m bad for you Mine say the same thing about you too Guess we’re perfect in a twisted way Just another beautiful mistake [Pre-Chorus, Building tension] You say you’re leaving tonight... But you never really try... [Chorus, Huge catchy hard rock hook] Cigarettes and empty threats That’s all we got left Love me like a car crash burning out Scream until the neighbors shout Every fight just starts again Every sorry sounds pretend Yeah we’re poison, yeah we’re wrecked Cigarettes and empty threats [Verse 2, Driving bass groove] Kitchen light at 3 AM Talking dirty over cheap bourbon You wear heartbreak like designer clothes Everybody knows how this thing goes You say I drink too much these days I say you love your little games Half the town has heard us scream Still you show up next to me [Pre-Chorus, Bigger buildup] You say you’re done this time... Then you crawl back every night... [Chorus, Bigger radio-rock section] Cigarettes and empty threats That’s all we got left Love me like a car crash burning out Scream until the neighbors shout Every fight just starts again Every sorry sounds pretend Yeah we’re poison, yeah we’re wrecked Cigarettes and empty threats [Bridge, Half-time emotional section] Maybe we like the damage... Maybe we need the scars... Maybe we’re just two losers Trying hard to fall apart... [Guitar Solo, Emotional post-grunge guitar solo with melodic bends and crunchy distortion] [Final Chorus, Massive anthemic ending] Cigarettes and empty threats That’s all we got left Love me like a car crash burning out Scream until the neighbors shout Every fight just starts again Every sorry sounds pretend Yeah we’re poison, yeah we’re wrecked Cigarettes and empty threats [Outro, Fading distorted guitars and cynical vocals] Yeah... See you tomorrow night... Probably...
