“Like a ghost that dances on the tip of a lit cigarette,I know what romance is, but it hasn't happened yet.Watch it floating up to heaven only knows,Disappearing before you get too close-It's only smoke. You might say a flame was burning, only smoke--but my heart is more discerning, I keep dreaming of a fireBut when I wake up to the cold--It's only smoke.Eyes are hypnotizing when they hold you within their embrace.Words are mezmerizing even when they've got nothing to say.The game is charming in an empty kind of way.What's the harm in asking me to play?It's only smoke. You might say a flame was burning, only smoke--but my heart is more discerning, I keep dreaming of a fireBut when I wake up to the cold--It's only smoke.”

“You know the games I play And the words I say When I want my own way You know the lies I tell When you've gone through hell And I say I can't stay You know how hard it can be To keep believing in me When everything and everyone Becomes my enemy and when There's nothing more you can do I'm gonna blame it on you It's not the way I want to be I only hope that in the end you will see It's the Opheliac in me”
