Clove Smoke Catharsis

Lean against the night and laugh

As I try to scale the walls

Ignored futility

Fills the air

You're only there

To watch me fall

Watch me fall

Watch me



If only pure sweetness was offered

Why's this bitter taste left in my mouth?

If I could catch my breath

Just to exhale

I'd know

That I

Held it in too long



From above comes a faint smile

A new vantage, such a view

Familiarity

Now disowned

Just sit and stare

As I walk away

Walk away

Watch me



If only pure sweetness was offered

Why's this bitter taste left in my mouth?

If I could catch my breath

Just to exhale

I'd know

That I

Held it in too long



{A buncha "whoa"s}



If only pure sweetness was offered

Why's this bitter taste left in my mouth?

If I could catch my breath

Just to exhale

I'd know

That I

Held it in too long



If only pure sweetness was offered

(The bitterness)

Why's this bitter taste left in my mouth?

(The sweetness)

If I could catch my breath

(My breath)

Just to exhale

I'd know

That I

Held it in too long
