High Off Love

keep an eye open for the smoke.

High Off Love

We met. Everything was great.

I wore a smile. Nothing could bring me down.

You made me happy. All things just happen.

The intention seemed there,

It felt like you cared. But did you really?

It seemed like you had it, the cure to me.

I ignored the signs.

I left everything behind.

Dove into hope.

High off your love, high off your smoke.

You filtered my mind, damaged my scope.

I couldn't see straight,

High off your smoke.

Sweet manipulation had me choked.

I was,

Drugged by love.

Drugged by you.
