Throw That Cigarette Away

[Verse] Ashtray's full it's a cloudy parade Your fingers shake as the memories fade You light another like it's some kind of bandage But the wound still bleeds no matter the advantage [Chorus] Throw that cigarette away in the rain You're fueling fire but you're stuck in its chains Breathless whispers calling you to stay But freedom's waiting if you throw it away [Verse 2] You say it's comfort but it's burning your breath A paper promise that's whispering death Smoke curls dancing in a waltz with despair You're chasing solace but it's never there [Chorus] Throw that cigarette away in the rain You're fueling fire but you're stuck in its chains Breathless whispers calling you to stay But freedom's waiting if you throw it away [Bridge] The crackling ember knows all of your secrets Holds you tight whispers dreams but still defeats Brooklyn rooftops used to call your name Now you’re gasping for air while stoking the flame [Chorus] Throw that cigarette away in the rain You're fueling fire but you're stuck in its chains Breathless whispers calling you to stay But freedom's waiting if you throw it away
