Blendre Words : When Smoke Descends
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
