Lyrics Dorothy – Black Tar & Nicotine

Raised myself for a million lies
I could sell religion to Jesus Christ
A broken home, I left behind
Gave up everything for a couple of lines

I know my time is growing near
My heart is empty and there’s no tears
I wasted so many years
Lost in the bottle ’till I disappeared

Heading down the same routine
My throne is high just like a king
But black tar and nicotine
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

The world is bitter cold
Filled my pockets with blood and stone
The streets I grew up on, I called home
Friends I had left me long ago

Running far and in-between
I had it all at seventeen
But black tar and nicotine
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

One day heaven came to take my pain
With a fist full of pills and a needle stuck in my vein
Tears roll down like sweat on my face
I didn’t know what to do ’cause I was afraid

I’m sitting alone in this motel room
Paper thin walls and a rack for my shoes
Don’t know where I’m going next
Now I lay here in this bed

‘Cause black tar and nicotine
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
