i know something will kill me

well, i know it won't be alcohol
although i enjoy it once in a while
but it doesn't have the same hold
it does for some who bear the trial.

i doubt that for me it will be love
although i know that some it kills
some say it heals and maybe prove
although i've felt its pain and thrills.

it could be food and maybe the cigar in my hand
the doctors they would try to tell me that
they maybe right but could also build on sand
it's possible but i think here's where the answer's at.

there is still one thing it's nothing new
i've even seen the knife
it's the biggest killer i know it's true
i think what'll kill me is life.
