These Harsh Realities

This is an OG song we wrote about lost friendships and youth. Impossible not to think of these two then.

This is “Cigarette Night”

LYRICS:

Summer power cut

And a city in the dark

Saw you dancing on the floor

Under a million blue lights

The thread binding us

Hanging loose from your top

We couldn’t have known

It’d be over by dawn

Cause they say

“Youth is always wasteful”

But you and I,

Are forever.

Cause the next day

It was doomsday

And I never had the chance

To tell you how much

I enjoyed our Cigarette Nights

Cause the next day

It was doomsday

And I never had the chance

To tell you how much

I enjoyed our Cigarette Nights

Ashes in your mouth

Aftertaste of smoke

Voices of discord

Serenade us to a fall

In memories of dusk

The trace is fading quick

We couldn’t have known

It’ll be over by dawn
