Smoke

Have you turned out to be just a thought?

Fading away as you have untied the knot

Why can’t you hear me as I scream?

Why have you stopped coming into my dream?

 

My scream tears my soul apart

I couldn’t realize when did the dusk start

I can feel my heart is now a hollow trough

I have filled it up with dark smoke

 

 

I can see you through these Smokey rings

Your thoughts keep chasing me like eagle wings

Cant you see I am waiting here since ever for you?

Your grave doesn’t quench my thirst to see you

 

My scream tears my soul apart

I couldn’t realize when did the dusk start

I can feel my heart is now a hollow trough

I have filled it up with dark smoke
