Like cigarettes and gasoline
  I light a match and watch this scene
  Burn away in front of me
  Ashes of my misery
  
  I swear sometimes I think this life is killing me
  
  I swear it's killin me
  All our shattered hopes
  And our long dead dreams
  The wreckage that we all try to keep
  From coming to life
  And tearing us apart at the seams
  
  Sun bleached bones and withered trees
  Slowly rotting just like me
  Empty bottles broken glass
  My resolve is fading fast
  
  I swear sometimes I think this life is killing me
  
  I swear it’s killin me
  All our shattered hopes
  And our long dead dreams
  The wreckage that we all try to keep
  From coming to life
  And tearing us apart at the seams
