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
