Lyrics for 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? And 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 (The 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
