Cigarettes/Brothers
from C'est La Vie by Foxfire
lyrics
Staple your arms back on
And patch up the holes inside your lungs and learn to breathe again
You are so lovely, you are beautiful
Get rid of the stale air
And get rid of the fragments of the glass inside your skin
Lovely, broken girl. You’re fixable
Lovely, broken heart. You’re mend-able
Suck down that cigarette till you’re sucking on your fingertips
Don’t pretend that you’re smiling when you’re not
Keep reaching for air and learn to breathe again
Brother I found you in the forest of your mind
Brother you were lost but I found you in time
Though you never speak barely over a whisper
My attention's all yours now
You're no longer talking to this speechless wall
With the sunlight around your head like a halo
You came out and you finally spoke
"I don't think we're much of anything
We're just dark and selfish souls
Brother I am scared
No, brother I'm not scared of dying alone
But brother I am scared of losing control"
And patch up the holes inside your lungs and learn to breathe again
You are so lovely, you are beautiful
Get rid of the stale air
And get rid of the fragments of the glass inside your skin
Lovely, broken girl. You’re fixable
Lovely, broken heart. You’re mend-able
Suck down that cigarette till you’re sucking on your fingertips
Don’t pretend that you’re smiling when you’re not
Keep reaching for air and learn to breathe again
Brother I found you in the forest of your mind
Brother you were lost but I found you in time
Though you never speak barely over a whisper
My attention's all yours now
You're no longer talking to this speechless wall
With the sunlight around your head like a halo
You came out and you finally spoke
"I don't think we're much of anything
We're just dark and selfish souls
Brother I am scared
No, brother I'm not scared of dying alone
But brother I am scared of losing control"
