To Call Up Smoke lyrics

O the smoke blows through the trees Eyes blind as you’re perfumed in kerosene And the flames you cannot see Are like the company you keep They’re ghosts roaming through your streets Aimlessly… See the smoke rise around her sin Death resides where her lies begin And you chase down the chagrin With Bombay gin Hell, sometimes you just can’t win Call up smoke to save the soul’s demise It blankets truth to keep you safe at night You throw curses and you cry In desperation, at your plight But don’t forget that you set your own fire Behold! The smoke up in the sky Casting shadows everywhere God hides You pray day and night And you don’t know why “Hey God, can you show me some light?” Feel the smoke whisk out from your mouth Blending with your breath’s congested sound And sometimes you think out loud When your patience hits the ground “Next time, I won’t be found When you decide to come around.” Call up smoke to save the soul’s demise It blankets truth to keep you safe at night You throw curses and you cry In desperation, at your plight But don’t forget that you set your own fire Dream the smoke inside your home Dream in fear that you will not atone But nightmares come and go Like every lover you have known But when truth arrives, you face it on your own When truth cries, you console it on your own
