Dying Proof Lyrics

You need more heat.
This is a recurring theme.
You die in flames in my dreams.

"I need to get more sleep."
This is what you always say.
Lying in a junkie's way.

finding you
turning blue
it's easy to
discern the truth
i can see
what not to do
one look at you
the dying proof

Pick up your cigarette.
forgot what I said.
It's so hard to care what you do.

You say, "Look at me respectfully."
I can't

If life is a performance, and I am not an actor, 
am I supposed to lie down and die?
