Candlelight Dope Dreams

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Four walls closing in, just a flicker in the gloom
Used to have it all, now this fucking basement tomb
Whiskey burns my throat, chasing ghosts inside my head
One bad decision, now my whole goddamn life’s dead

[Chorus]
Candlelight and smoke, another hit to feel alive
This shit ain’t living, just a way to barely survive
Wish I could rewind, take it back to yesterday
But time’s a one-way street, so I just fade away

[Verse 2]
Picture perfect smile, vanished like a puff of haze
Traded honest sweat for these dark and vacant days
Empty promises, left me hollowed out and cold
This toxic solace is the only story I’m told

[Chorus]
Candlelight and smoke, another hit to feel alive
This shit ain’t living, just a way to barely survive
Wish I could rewind, take it back to yesterday
But time’s a one-way street, so I just fade away

[Bridge]
I’d sell my fucking soul for just one clean breath
Escape this living hell, this slow and bitter death
But the needle finds my vein, the pipe lights up again
Just a temporary peace, then the nightmare begins

[Chorus]
Candlelight and smoke, another hit to feel alive
This shit ain’t living, just a way to barely survive
Wish I could rewind, take it back to yesterday
But time’s a one-way street, so I just fade away

[Outro]
Fade away, yeah, fade to black, fuck it all!
