LESS THAN JAKE - Portrait Of A Cigarette Smoker At Age 19 lyrics

rate me

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
