Eltanin: Smoke


Sitting in my hour-glass, sinking slowly in the sand
Angry with myself at last, for turning down your open hand
Staring at my broken ceiling, empty words crawl in my mouth
Slamming fists into my feelings, everything around me shouts


[chorus]
Opening my eyes to see
the world isn't as pretty as it seems
Breathe the smoke in me
Take off the mask and set me free


Tripping over hidden stones with no one here to help me stand
Sitting in these broken thrones, forgetting all of your demands
A wrong move to prove me right, castaway inside my head
I see it all in black and white, never heard a word you said


[chorus]
Opening my eyes to see
the world isn't as pretty as it seems
Breathe the smoke in me
Take off the mask and set me free

It's cold outside
It's cold outside again


[chorus]
