Dust And Smoke

Fire's burnin' on the mountain
You can smell from miles around
It's gettin' heavy, and the ash is snowin' softly on this town
It's gettin' hard to see the ground

Burns to breathe, it's hard to see
It's gettin' darker by the day
Try to speak, but I'm too weak from all the coughin' I can't take
And all that's left to do is pray

Far too wasted, hollowed out
Far too faded, talk me down
It carries through my bones
And that's somethin' I hold close

If I start chokin' on my lies
Would you leave me here to die?
'Cause all I've ever known is everything I hold
Turns to dust and smoke

I've been dreamin' 'bout the moment that I saw you in my sleep
Told me I was too damn young to be the type of man you'd keep
Girl that lives inside me

They say the only way to make it out of hell is through
That the darkest times can bring out the light in you
Well, if only that were true

Far too wasted, hollowed out
Far too faded, talk me down
It carries through my bones
And that's somethin' I hold close

If I start chokin' on my lies
Would you leave me here to die?
'Cause all I've ever known is everything I hold
Turns to dust and smoke

Far too wasted, hollowed out
Far too faded, talk me down
It carries through my bones
And that's somethin' I hold close

If I start chokin' on my lies
Would you leave me here to die?
'Cause all I've ever known is everything I hold
Turns to dust and smoke
