Smoke Lyrics by Deep Forest Drive

In Memoriam

2018

All my life I've stood outside
Always looking for the key
But the cure I never tried
Was the only way to set you free
You would come into the yard
To join me now and then
But your chains were never long enough
You were always pulled back in

Though I always tried to please you
I never really tried my best
Maybe if I had tried harder
You would have never gone to rest
Oh I will never know

Naturally I grew impatient
I got up and walked away
And in my state of ignorance
I failed to notice the flames
They toughened your skin
Made sure no one was let in
The smoke it filled your insides
Told you to leave it all behind 
By the time I was alerted
It was long past too late
My world was left deserted 
As the ash fell on my face

Smoke fills my lungs
Smoke fills my lungs
I’ll breathe it in for the memories
Come fill my lungs
