She inhales a slow death
Watches the plume of smoke
She sits in a lonely apartment
Looking through the curling smoke
She stares at the ceiling
Wondering where it all went wrong
There has to be more than this
This shabby apartment
Littered with dreams
Covered in tears
It doesn't look the same
Not after so many years
She thought it could be her salvation
Found a prison instead
She inhales a slow death
Watches the plume of smoke
Thinks back to a first love
How sweet that man was
He's now just another half glimpsed face
Floating in the curling smog
She thought it would be different
With her shining knight at her side
But in the dark of night
There were no places she could hide
Not when the rot festers
Deep within her mind
She inhales a slow death
Watches the plume of smoke
As she walkes to her seventh story window
Looks at the people rushing round
Wonders what took her so long
She opens the sash
Takes one long last drag
She inhales a slow death
Watches the plume of smoke
As she crashes
To the asphalt below
Released at last
One last plume of smoke floats away
