"Dust And Smoke" lyrics

Fire's a burning on a mountain, you can smell it from miles around
It's getting heavy, and the ash is snowing softly on this town
It's getting hard to see the ground
Burns to breathe, it's hard to see
It's getting darker by the day
Try to speak, but I'm too weak
From all the coughing I can take
All that's left to do is pray

Far too wasted, hollowed out
Far too faded to talk me down
It carries through my bones
And that's something I hold close
If I start choking on my lies
Would you leave me here to die?
'Cause all I've ever known
Is everything I hold just turns to dust and smoke

I've been dreaming about the moment that I saw you in my sleep
Told me I was too damn young to be the type of man you'd keep
Girl, that lives inside me
They say the only way to make it out of hell is through
That the darkest times can bring out a light in you
Well, if only that were true

Far too wasted, hollowed out
Far too faded to talk me down
It carries through my bones
And that's something I hold close
If I start choking on my lies
Would you leave me here to die?
'Cause all I've ever known
Is everything I hold just turns to dust and smoke

Far too wasted, hollowed out
Far too faded to talk me down
It carries through my bones
And it's something I hold close
If I start choking on my lies
Would you leave me here to die?
'Cause all I've ever known
Is everything I hold just turns to dust and smoke
