Brand New Habit

Ember at the very tip
 You kill so slow though I'd prefer you'd do it quick
 Light you up and send you off
 You leave in a puff but still you always stick
 I'd ash you away but still you'd remain
 Your scent in my hair
 I wear your stains tonight, tonight
 I'd ask you to stay with your toxic intake
 But the question proves itself pointless
 Each time
 Filter, my friend, you like to pretend
 You're a barrier to a rather unfortunate end
 You hang from my mouth
 I can't spit you out
 In hopes that your presence proves some kind of merit
 Well I'd dust you right off
 Your farewell - a cough
 But tomorrow comes and I'm not quite strong enough
 No
 Your dust on my sleeve
 No you'll never leave
 The one who picks up and moves on
 Has got to be me
 Keep you away let someone else have it
 It's about time I find myself a brand new habit
 Cut you off - amputate the havoc
 It's about time I find myself a brand new habit
 I'd ash you away but still you'd remain
 Your scent in my hair
 I wear your stains tonight, tonight
 I'd ask you to stay with your toxic intake
 But the question proves itself pointless
 Each time
 I'd dust you right off
 Your farewell - a cough
 But tomorrow comes and I'm not quite strong enough
 No
 Your dust on my sleeve
 No you'll never leave
 The one who picks up and moves on
 Has got to be me
