Lyrics
Smoke Clouds
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.
Look no further than the father who goes further than they should
To the point where we're surrounded by the scars behind their hoods
And who is gonna teach them wrong from right?
Who's gonna tell them it's alright?
Just pass the cigarette
Take these brain cells out of my head
Fill my lungs, drain my heart...
Cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flags for me
Still my bones keep bleading to walk out
From all of this fall out
But there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn my bitterness to sweet
I gotta find a new release
So I'm trading blues for green
Listen
Now I'm a simple man I don't even have a phone
If I did I wouldn't pick it up I wanna be alone
I don't trust anyone in this one-track town
When the people walk by watch my eyes fall down
Who is gonna teach them wrong
Who's gonna teach them wrong from right?
Just pass the cigarette
Take these brain cells out of my head
Fill my lungs, drain my heart
Cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flags for me
Still my bones keep bleading to walk out
From all of this fall out
And there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn the bitterness to sweet
I gotta find a new release
So I'm trading blues for green
Just pass the cigarette
Take these brain cells out of my head
Fill my lungs, drain my heart
Cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flags for me
Still my bones keep bleading to walk out
From all of this fall out
But there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn the bitterness to sweet
I gotta find a new release
So I'm trading blues for green.
