When the Smoke Clears

You want a moment To take a breath I said I’d wait for you But you up and left I’m back to chasing shadows Running from the light Can’t stop the bleeding It’s a product of oversight If the pieces break Can you force them back together Is there soup for the soul That’ll make my heart feel better Bottleneck caught the promises Straining the lies Not much left to work with Eventually I’ll come down from the highs Can I get a hit To get from night to day The chains are pulling Cause it’s so hard to stay away
