Song : Portrait of a cigarette smoker at age 19
 


I used to be a stereotype

Half alive with half open eyes

With a one track mind

And a flawed design

Feeling like I was lost 

At sea at only the age of 19

Floating around in alcohol and apathy

Taking in too much caffeine and nicotine

If we make it out of here alive

Just say you won't look back to see

Just who we left behind



We're all doing just fine

We were always the ones laughing last

We were never the ones looking back

We were always the ones to say that

We're all doing just fine



I used to be a stereotype

Someone you'd never recognize

With fingers so yellow 

That it matched the yellow skies

And there was a few things I memorized

From all those blurry times

Like bottles clinking under blinking signs

And a few last words from lost friend of mine



If we make it out of here alive

Just say you won't look back to see

Just who we left behind



We're all doing just fine

We were always the ones laughing last

We were never the ones looking back

We were always the ones to say that

We're all going just fine 



Words to live by

We're doing fine
