Image In The Mirror


​A smoker wants some sympathy

He wants you to understand
The terrible anxious feeling he has
When he's under the cigarette's command
 
But he also wants you to believe
That he is in total control
That he smokes because he enjoys it
This image is also his goal
 
No wonder he cannot break from this dreadful affliction
He doesn't know what's fact and what is fiction
Well, just to make things a little clearer
When you look right in the mirror
 
The image of you being in control
Is wrong, you're just a poor lost soul
Once this truth you fully accept
Escaping addiction, you'll be much more adept
