lyrics

Tarred perfume, burnt paper.
What have you fed me?
Sweet smoke, dusty tang.
Why have you misled me?

Pull the leaf past your lips.
Ash clips your fingers.
Revel in chemical peace.
My trouble lingers.

I know.
It's suddenly clear.
This freedom I feel.
It's all smoke and mirrors.

My desperation,
Stretched thin over a cigarette.
My two white dove flew away.
God knows when I'll see them again.

Lost inside misguiding light,
Deep in dependence I reside.
Grimestone and gasoline, they fuel my nicotine dream.
Is each exhale a sigh of relief? Oh, how I wish, oh I wish it could be.

I know.
It's suddenly clear.
This freedom I feel.
It's all smoke and mirrors.

Take me away.

I know.
It's suddenly clear.
This freedom I feel.
It's all smoke and mirrors.
