Don't Smoke

from Song Islands vol. 2 by Mount Eerie

/

lyrics

Is it because there’s a little part of you that wants to be dead?
Or is it because your life feels empty without some ritual?
Or is it because the rebellion against the adults hasn’t ended yet?
Well, the adults sell cigarettes
and you have the ritual of waking up each day
and it will fill you.
There’s no excuse to start smoking.
Where is the rebellion in acting like a fuck up?
Why not embrace simple health?
It’s obvious there is work to do, strong and deliberately.
We are the ones. We have to do it.
No more parents or gods taking responsibility,
living in the world on your own,
there’s no punishment.
Only knowing what to do, no excuses.
The time is now. Do not wait. Go.
Improve yourself right now.
