you ask me to explain
and i try to see through
the fog in my head
the smoke that surrounds these memories
you tell me to focus
and i try my best to breath
without choking on a cough
this room is for chain smokers
this room is not for thinking
remembering
this room is for forgetting
you ask me to explain
you ask me for the key
you ask to unlock the door
you ask me to see
your eyes will burn against the haze
your hands will go numb
your mind so high
it's easy to succumb
this room is not for conversation
or secrets
or the truth
this room is for chain smokers
addicts
looking to soothe
you ask
you ask
you ask
and you shall not receive
this room is for me
and for me
it can only be
