Love

So wise, so young to never live long
 It seems like I grew up as it grew dark
 And I decided I no longer wanted to write
 About what keeps us apart
 And I'm not surprised, I've spent all this time
 Just singing, "God, send
 Cigarettes and purpose to guide this life"
 God, send cigarettes and purpose to guide this
 Oh, and this is what I wanted
 But my prayers distorted
 Oh, a dream come true
 And it's nicotine and disappointment
 And I'm not surprised, I've spent all this time
 Singing, "God send the softest flesh to ease the stress of this troubled mind"
 So waded lavishly through sin, traded amnesty for skin
 Haven't seen sex and respect in the same place ever since
 And I'm not surprised, I've spent all this time
 Just singing, "God, send
 Cigarettes and purpose to guide this life"
 God, send cigarettes and purpose to guide this
 Oh, look what nightmares these prayers become
 Oh, God send employment, culture, combat to occupy the young
 Oh, the vacant voicemails and anti-depressants can make you forget
 Oh, I'm nothing without my influences, I'm nothing without my friends
 I can't help but love this life again
 I can't help but love this life again
 God, send cigarettes and purpose to guide this life
 God, send cigarettes and purpose to guide this
