I live among the embers, I sing above the crackle. Every time I wake, I meet new friends and every night i sleep I know i must start again. I do not want to spend my time with my ears closed to all the cries I hear, but I only have two options- To destruct, or be destructed. It is lonely being me, a person of the smoke. I drift around and burn the ground, I show no mercy as they choke. Everything thats built to last is burnt to dust, its turned to ash. It is lonely being me, a person of the smoke. I live among the embers, I sing among the crackle, people do not notice- but my heart is just as tender.

It is lonely being me, a person of the smoke. I live among the embers, I sing above the crackle. Every time I wake, I meet new friends and every night i sleep I know i must start again. I do not want to spend my time with my ears closed to all the cries I hear, but I only have two options- To destruct, or be destructed. It is lonely being me, a person of the smoke. I drift around and burn the ground, I show no mercy as they choke. Everything thats built to last is burnt to dust, its turned to ash. It is lonely being me, a person of the smoke. I live among the embers, I sing among the crackle, people do not notice- but my heart is just as tender.
