Smoke Lyrics

Build your cold calculations like

Towers toward heaven above

There in the balance of everything

You pray that your numbers add up

Pray that your numbers add up

You say heaven is falling down

Crushing the world with its weight

But if push came to shove you'd keep

Holding the sky in its place

Holding the sky in its place

So it goes

You say fire, but all I see is smoke

So it goes

You say fire, but all I see is smoke

Tell yourself it's a story book

Built out of lies from the deep

But if these dragons aren't fairy tales you're

Selling your sons to the beast

Selling your sons to the beast

If you're holding out for perfect truth

Then there's nothing left I can say

Maybe there's something that's sacred in

Waiting to be swept away

Waiting to be swept away

So it goes

You say fire, but all I see is smoke

So it goes

You say fire, but all I see is smoke

If I knew every consequence

I might watch the world fan the flames

'Cause maybe the only redemption is

Burning the bridge to escape

Burning the bridge to escape

Burning the bridge to escape

Burning the bridge, burning the bridge

Burning the bridge, burning the bridge

So it goes

You say fire, but all I see is smoke

So it goes

You say fire, but all I see is smoke
