Black Smoke

As a matter of fact I recall that you did
Hide in the shadows your faintheartedness
Now the problems you're facing now are like a bad dream
You know the truth but couldn't face it
Now there's problems yours to figure out
Look who's talking now
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept when you keep them to yourself
Look who's talking now (look who's talking now)
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept
Please believe me, it's not easy
Saying what I have to say
You'll remember what I told you
Things will always (things will always)
Things will always be the same
Yeah, right
Look who's talking now
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept when you keep them to yourself
Look who's talking now (look who's talking now)
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept
I know I know something that you don't
Shady snake you speak in riddles and obsess over control
At this rate it's impossible to tell
Pin point the culprit, pierce the veil
Unearth the secrets but keep the details to yourself
Never love someone beneath your evolution
Promises are only as good as the people who make them
Trust of the innocent can be a liars most useful tool
Look who's talking now
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept when you keep them to yourself
Look who's talking now (look who's talking now)
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept
To hell with your perspective
You know not of who I am
So keep your judgement
It's hard to see what you don't know
What good is your vision
What good is your vision
Surrounded by black smoke?
Let's not forget about our hero
Or take for granted of how hard he tries
To cheer you up despite these hard times
Hoping good advice will change your mind
Keep telling your white lies
Keep telling your white lies
Soon enough it will catch up and leave you colorblind
Go ahead and race right down the ally
Keep telling your white lies
Tell 'em that your being honest
Play pretend like you the good guy
Look who's talking now
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept when you keep them to yourself
Look who's talking now (look who's talking now)
You've got some nerve, some day you'll learn
Secrets are best kept
To hell with your perspective
You know not of who I am
So keep your judgement
It's hard to see what you don't know
What good is your vision
What good is your vision
Surrounded by black smoke?
