There was dark smoke in your eyes
When you saw embers fall from the sky
Behind the store but on the street
November winters starred back at me
When we would stand upon the sidewalks
The snow would melt slow below our feet
And you always said that you’d stop smoking cigarettes
You’d throw the buds down, blow through the breeze
And your steps were close to mine
The hum of streetlights consume my mind
And the way you turn to look back at me
Is what you saw what I would see
Now why does looking outside make it all feel fake
But never tells me what to say
Now all of my thought consist of old words with things id never say
And I was left with no quite days
There was dark smoke in your eyes
When you saw embers fall from the sky
And the way you talked hid your dismay
We saw each other in awful ways
And your skin was close to mine
But everything said was soon to die
And you would leave in frigid rain
A scene of vanity with no restraint
Now everything I am is far away from you
When the leaves fall from the trees I can’t help but think of you
Does anything I said still resonate inside your mind
Now everything I do exist outside of you
And everything I felt only makes it feel less true
No matter how you true the dark smoke still catches you eyes
[ Kelso Jeans ]
The textural appeal
Of the walls when everything's not real
Are you feeling it now
The constant cloudiness
The vaguest sense of you
Was everything we did not true
Am I still under
Behind you it's thundering
