about

A song about how harsh words in the home are heard by all inhabitants.

lyrics

I have never touched a cigarette, my parents told me no
They said it’s not a habit they want to pass on, so just don’t
But they lit up in the house! Hid round corners in the hall
I don’t smoke, but I live inside these yellow-stained walls

It gets in my eyes and burns
Hope I survive

I don’t think that you have got a clue
How your smoke diffuses through the room
Maybe it’s my fault, I never said
That the smell would follow me to bed
You have blacked out my lungs
Guess it’s just something you never knew

You beg me for a light
You don’t know what it’s like

I have never been distracted by withdrawal in my day
I have only felt relief when I finally get away
Still they tell me to “relax! It has null to do with you!”
Mom and daddy risk their lives but it’s gonna kill me too

It gets in my throat and hurts
It’s just secondhand smoke

I don’t think that you have got a clue
How your smoke diffuses through the room
I don’t think you really care to know
That the smell would permeate my clothes
You have blacked out my lungs
Guess your one true love is nicotine.
Try to quit or get away from me!

I don’t think you really understand
How much I don’t want to find a man
He’ll try to hide his habit but I’ll know
'Cause mom and dad gave me a nose for smoke

You have blacked out my lungs
Guess it’s just something you never knew
