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
