Clove Smoke Catharsis

Lean against the night and laugh
As I try to scale the wall
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

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 (pure bitterness)
Why's this bitter taste left in my mouth (pure sweetness)
If I could catch my breath (my breath)
Just to exhale
I'd know, that I, held it in too long
