Lyrics
Clove Smoke Catharsis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lean against the night and laugh
as I try to scale the wall
ignored futility fills the air
you're only there to watch me fall
watch me fall
watch me
chorus:
If only pure sweetness was offered
why's this bitter taste left in my mouth
if I could catch my breath
just to exhale
I'd know that I held it in too long
From above comes a faint smile
a new vantage, such a view
familiarity, now disowned
just sit and stare, as I walk away
walk away
watch me
chorus
...
chorus
If only pure sweetness was offered (the bitterness)
why's this bitter taste left in my mouth (pure sweetness)
if I could catch my breath (my breath)
just to exhale
I'd know that I held it in too long.
