Lyrics

I remember when this thing
was so fresh and new
i remember when this wasn't just
something to do to get through
something just to get through

i was 15, i think
in the woods a few trees deep
back behind my parent's house
while they were fast asleep
i took the leap
and the slope of the day seemed less steep

this sweet smoke
it pulls me gently
like a sunlit lullaby
floats me, soundless,
through this city
i'm a moonless midnight sky
but every night
there's on breathe
where i see it's a hollow high

and now here we are
this wild, gilded ride
has left me on this sofa
so blank and nullified
and emptier, emptier on the inside

i'm a quarter way through
i'm not old, but older
and my strokes of blue
paint on longer and bolder
as time rushes on
i keep writing the same song

this sweet smoke
it pulls me gently
like a sunlit lullaby
floats me, soundless,
through this city
i'm a moonless midnight sky
but every night
there's on breathe
where i see it's a hollow high

and it's so much sadder than it seems
i sleep at night but have no dreams
i sleep at night but it's no break
aint so different then when i'm awake
