Chainsmoking - Jacob Banks

Album: The Boy Who Cried Freedom EP

genre: Blues Soul

It’s getting harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can’t be good for my sanity
Can’t be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love

I know my lease is up and the bailiff’s at the door
And still I’m hanging on to the life we had before
I know this cold love won’t lead me to the Lord
Although I’m black and blue I’m begging you for more

It’s getting harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can’t be good for my sanity
Can’t be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love

We watched the water rise, unhindered by the shore
Take me on top of the world and leave me on the floor
You say we’re meant to be but I’m seeing your honesty
I’ll be a casualty when morning comes, oh

It’s getting harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can’t be good for my sanity
Can’t be good for my lungs
It’s getting harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can’t be good for my sanity
Can’t be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love, oh

In an interview with "The Fader", the soul singer said about his song: "'Chainsmoking' is about understanding that shit may be hard, but we push on anyway. I am really happy to share it, the sound mixes old and new vibes which is done across the EP in different colors."
