Black Tar & Nicotine - Dorothy

Raised myself for a million lies

I could sell religion to Jesus Christ

A broken home, I left behind

Gave up everything for a couple of lines

I know my time is growing near

My heart is empty and there’s no tears

I wasted so many years

Lost in the bottle 'till I disappeared

Heading down the same routine

My throne is high just like a king

But black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

The world is bitter cold

Filled my pockets with blood and stone

The streets I grew up on, I called home

Friends I had left me long ago

Running far and in-between

I had it all at seventeen

But black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

One day heaven came to take my pain

With a fist full of pills and a needle stuck in my vein

Tears roll down like sweat on my face

I didn’t know what to do 'cause I was afraid

I’m sitting alone in this motel room

Paper thin walls and a rack for my shoes

Don’t know where I’m going next

Now I lay here in this bed

'Cause black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

'Cause black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

Black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

Black tar and nicotine

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
