Smoke

Every time your dreams fix lately You're falling off of some sky-scraping Edifice you hate That's just your brain of late It likes to lock in images you Parallel with some strange issue That's got you by the throat Heaven knows you choke Usher in a fleeting feeling Kissing someone and you mean it Cos when you don't, it hurts your bones Probably should've stayed at home Picture someone's face you love Interrupting hands stink of Smoke You paint a smiling countenance You think will please the audience But no-onе knows you're dying inside To step out from thе light And slip into a shadow where No-one's even breathing there You've got your own back, that's not sad You're the best friend you've ever had So why make it so hard for yourself? We can all see what it's done to your health Behind the smile, a subtle lie Each and every time You're slipping into a pool of pretext Everybody knows what comes next How you gonna love someone else If you can't love yourself You set a schedule, tick it off Delineate a separate box For feelings what you wish would stop And everything you're not But we love you like a little brother Who makes even the shittest weather Shine down as if god wants us To live as if we're new in love You paint a smiling countenance You think will please the audience But no-one knows you're dying inside To step out from the light And slip into a shadow where No-one's even breathing there You've got your own back, that's not sad You're the best friend you've ever had So why make it so hard for yourself? We can all see what it's done to your health Behind the smile, a subtle lie Each and every time You're slipping into a pool of pretext Everybody knows what comes next How you gonna love someone else If you can't love yourself? If you can't love yourself If you can't love yourself How you gonna love someone else If you can't love yourself?
