[Verse 1]
Strike a match light a cigarette
Time to ponder every last regret
Confusion, guilt, and nostalgia
Some feelings I am not proud of
Troubles vanish through a cloud of smoke
One more drag just to help me cope
Searching for clarity of mind
Something I will never find

[Chorus]
Lost in this nicotine dream
This pseudo-reality
Lost in this nicotine dream

Lost in this nicotine dream
This pseudo-reality
Lost in this nicotine dream

[Verse 2]
Strike a match light a cigarette
Memories I will never forget
Confusion, guilt, and nostalgia
Decisions I am not proud of
Troubles vanish through a cloud of smoke
One more drag just to give me hope
Searching for clarity of mind
But realize I've only wasted time
[Chorus]
Lost in this nicotine dream
This pseudo-reality
Lost in this nicotine dream

Lost in this nicotine dream
This pseudo-reality
Lost in this nicotine dream
