Smokescreen Lyrics by Birch Riley

Scattered (Remastered)

2019

Gonna sing a sad song
A song about you and me
I never did thank you, girl
For what you did to help me see

I just believe it’s here
I hope and pray every day
I’m trapped in a smokescreen
And I can hardly see

I’m just trapped here, caught inside a smokescreen
I never realized until it was too late
I’m just trapped here, caught inside a smokescreen
I never realized until it was too late

I never never knew just why
I lie awake almost every night
Consumed by darkness
And loneliness, a feverish fight
I hope I’m dreaming
This can’t be my life
I’m just stuck here, and I can hardly open my eyes

I’m just trapped here, caught inside a smokescreen
I never realized until it was too late
I’m just trapped here, caught inside a smokescreen
I never realized until it was too late

It’s my life
You do it, you do it your own way
Crying, it hurts, it hurts so bad
Timing, they’re gone, they’re gone by the way
Dying, it hurts, it hurts so bad when they’re gone

You’re way outside
Wish I could turn back time
Make you happy all your life
I guess I’ll see you on the other side
