What lies beneath is no more heard
Than the crypt of all, the cryptic words
What lies above is no more seen
Than a deadly poison, a smoking stream
And in my hand, lies suicide
An end to love, an end to life
Killing me softly, day by day
Slowly taking my breath away
Much more deadly than the sharpest blade
Holding the cards of life, ace of spades
Killing me softly, hour by hour
Turning my icy heart to sour
Utterly peaceful, utterly true
Death is knocking, softly too
Killing me softly, minute by minute
A deadly battle, I cannot win it
The world of smoke, the world of haze
Blinding my eyes, I’m lost in the maze
Killing me softly, second by second
Death calls to me, an empty beckon
And now my lifeless corpse decays
I sought to see my end of days
Killing me softly, my life is through
Now that I’m gone, I’m missing you.
i enjoyed this one, i didnt expect it to be about smoking. its true, its another form of suicide just a slower kind.
I really like this one..
