lyrics

First there was this urge
to fill a void beneath,
the surface you see
and I swear I saw it
briefly creeping through the trees,
playing with my senses
but in my palm
I could hold it, just for a moment
but before I knew
it had collapsed and died too soon

Running around the place
looking for the truth
to help me find
the pieces of my mind
falling from the earth
returning to blue
between smoke and shadows
I could not see through

Then there was dark
Was I misled or kept behind fences
one step ahead
and three more back to where I just came from
I tried so hard
it tore me to pieces if had not heard it
a distant voice unclear
said wake up you fool & let me help now

You're running around the place
looking for some ghost
to help you see
what's been right before your eye
falling from the earth
returning to blue
between smoke and shadows
I saw you

Staying away from you
is what I refuse to do
though I have tried to keep my cool
falling from the earth
returning to you
between smoke and shadows
I saw you too
between smoke and shadows
I was such a fool
between smoke and shadows
I saw you
