WHEN SMOKE DESCENDS You wear your convictions like a badge upon your chest Your words are painted in tones of condescension Only you have a vision to hell with the rest I've never seen someone so full of such pretension What you have to say is eclipsed by your actions As the smoke descends you become a distraction You can't be together and let smoke fly from your holes To be cool is to respect your body and that's how it goes Smoke doesn't rise it sinks in your lungs It weighs you down and blacks out the sun Lite up in the mirror and you won't see very much You'll see what I see a fragile mind holding a crutch When smoke descends a beautiful woman turns ugly When smoke descends a strong man shows how weak he really is So be honest with yourself and not one who pretends Smoke doesn't rise it only descends J.Bis |
