Lost in Smoke

I've given up on trying to understand all of this

Employing sense and it's met with insanity

Our time is up, the wick is burned, the candle's flickering

And you have other things to light

And everything's been lost within these clouds

It seems like you barely remember my name

Cut my losses as the spark burns out in smoke and flame

I watched you go from a lover to a stranger to something I despise

And the admission of your condition is scrawled across your eyes

I've got no problem with the sinners in moderation who don't let it rule their lives

But you've become a hollow, an imitation, there's nothing left inside

We've both found ways to solve these problems that we come across

But my creating can't match your endless self-medicating

It rips deep into me

This caustic tragedy

This world we built is sinking in sand

Mired in the thickets that have grown

I seem to be locked out of this future we planned

So you can roll your own

I watched you go from a lover to a stranger to something I despise

And the admission of your condition is scrawled across your eyes

I've got no problem with the sinners in moderation who don't let it rule their lives

But you've become a hollow, an imitation, there's nothing left inside

I guess what's done is done, but in this rage I find catharsis

I will move on, but this ending feels so pointless

You're lost in smoke, but in my memory

When I see your eyes my mind still strikes a chord of Open C

You're lost in smoke
