The Smoke

In the alley at nighttime, when the mist covers the ground The restless on their promenades are staring at your misery The smile of the beggar, as you try to hide from his greasy eyes The nights are long when you're scared and alone So you take one more deep breath to numb the pain Why should you care when you are lost out in the rain? The girl in the mirror is bleeding, you have to live with her scars The smoke is in your eyes, it hides the obvious for a while So you take one more deep breath to numb the pain Why should you care when you are lost out in the rain? So you do it once again to ease your sorrow Why should you bother? The pain will not be gone tomorrow When you are lost in your own escape You wish upon another star and the tears starts falling So you do it once again to ease your sorrow Why do you bother? The pain will not be gone tomorrow, tomorrow So comes another dawn with no hope in sight (no hope in sight) It is much clearer now in the light You stumble and fall back to the ground One last breath in before you go back home (you go back home) This is not a new day This day it will be the same way So you take one more deep breath to numb the pain Why should you care when you are lost out in the rain? So you do it once again to ease your sorrow Why should you bother? The pain will not be gone tomorrow So comes another dawn with no hope in sight (no hope in sight) It is much clearer now in the light You stumble and fall back to the ground One last breath in before you go back home (you go back home) This is not a new day This day it will be the same way
