Big Smoke - Blood Youth

I could tell you tales of misery

That would tear you all apart

Cold shoulder left without a home

And the will to give up

I am nothing but reliable

So why do you let me down?

Shown you nothing but loyalty

Even when you weren’t around

Your eyes tell me things your heart never could

At least I felt something

Something you never would

Filled my lungs with the big smoke

But it

Was just not to be

I could never learn

To look after me

I had to leave, when I knew this was becoming a strain

Do you know what it feels like

I’ve been looking for someone to save me from this hell

Nothing could be further from the truth

Still no sign of changing pace how long can this take?

These recurring dreams still keeping me awake

Do you know what this has done to me?

Irregular and far apart

The sense of knowing my state of heart

Without you, I’m half the man I used to be

I know, we’re searching, still finding, ourselves

I had to leave, when I knew this was becoming a strain

Do you know what it feels like

I’ve been looking for someone to save me from this hell

Nothing could be further from the truth

Still no sign of changing pace how long can this take?

These recurring dreams still keeping me awake

Can you warn me, next time you’re fading out

I can’t stand to see us breaking down

Hell is just a word

Reality is…

Is so much worse
