Black Tar & Nicotine Lyrics - Dorothy

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

'Cause black tar and nicotine 

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams 

Black tar and nicotine 

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams 

Black tar and nicotine 

Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
