Verse 1:
In a foreign land, feel the distance grow,
Boxes piled high, but there's nowhere to go,
Moving house again, it's a restless game,
Each door I close, yet the echoes remain.
Chorus:
Breath of smoke, take me high,
In the haze, I forget the why,
Loneliness whispers, but I can't hear,
With every puff, I drown the fear.
Verse 2:
These lonely nights stretch like endless roads,
Fading shadows dance, but they don't unfold,
Searching for solace in the choke and sigh,
But I know in the daylight, these feelings lie.
Chorus:
Breath of smoke, take me high,
In the haze, I forget the why,
Loneliness whispers, but I can't hear,
With every puff, I drown the fear.
Verse 3:
Broke and tired, a hollow shell,
Living this life feels like a prison cell,
Disappointment wraps me in its cold embrace,
Chasing dreams that vanish, leaving no trace.
Bridge:
I know it ain't right, this escape I choose,
But in the clouds, I find the muse,
With every hit, I sketch a new line,
In a story of heartache that could've been mine.
Chorus:
Breath of smoke, take me high,
In the haze, I forget the why,
Loneliness whispers, but I can't hear,
With every puff, I drown the fear.
Outro:
But I wake up each day, searching for the light,
Wanting to break through, find my way tonight,
Though the weight is heavy and the road is long,
I'll roll another and keep pushing on.

Slower more intricate verses, the main tone of the song is somber with a sad undertone, the main contents of the verses should play around with the themes of loneliness, pull on the main characters experience of being left in a country alone; moving house countless times and never truely feeling settled,
The next major theme is cannabis use, how it’s the only thing that gives the user a breath of fresh air, how it calms them down in an instance, they know it’s not good for them in the long run but it’s the only thing that’s kept them alive at times
The final theme is overall avoidance of disappointment; the main character is disappointed with their life and they want more from it; they’re broke tired and worthless to society in their current form, but they want to wake up and break out
