Smoke Screen

Believe what you see?
Like a change in the tide
You wait, you ride
You know it's just a smoke screen
What a pleasant surprise
Behind your eyes
You read the signs
Do you read the signs?

The weight on my mind
Will the thin blue line break over time?
Reflects like the chambers we lie
Feels like I've been here before
God, help me

You know that I can't breathe now
You know that I can't breathe now

You sanitise
The words we write
Wouldn't know of a taste of grace
If it fell in your face
You read it now
The clocks, they fall
You hear the calls
Of times before
Please don't wake me

You already have me on ice
Your skin, your cries, your textured voice
Laughing always
Re-repeat it twice
Repeat it twice
I see the human glaze
But it's just a smoke screen

You sever ties
Remember lies
Never the truth
Beneath the crease
In your red dress
A moment's kiss
The winter hiss
Chasing the days away
Drive me far from this place

You feel it now
We climb the wall
The curtain calls of times before
Never wasting
You tether pain
But change the name
Watching the whites
Discolour grey
Wisdoms making?

Your breath
Your sweat
The night's regret
Diffuse the lights in red
I see your face in my head
Re-repeat it twice
Repeat it twice
Your skin, your textured voice, your cries
Always, laughing

You feel alive
The space divides
Exchange the tides
Can't you see it's just a, just a-
I see it now
Renounce my vows
Replay the rounds
Now I see it's just a smoke screen

Again?
