ANASARCA - A CLOUD OF SMOKE lyrics

rate me

[based on "A Cloud of Smoke" by an unknown author]

In the haze of darkness

I remember it like yesterday

Someone I once used to be

And then it fades away

I feel it around the corner

A thought I never had

I see it in the mirror

And the reflections make me sad

It's a smoke like no other

A scent I can not smell

A story I vaguely remember

With words I can not tell

And then like the morning

When I find myself awake

A dream that has faded gone

Was it my mistake?

But like the ripple of the waves

It fades away like mist

And so I keep on searching

For what I just might be

Looking under every rock

Until I finally will see

And in the darkness there is light

The truth becomes all clear

The words of wisdom answer me

What I seek is near

In a cave I find it

Dusty, dark, and old

The memories returning

My story can be told

Reality is fleeting

My loved ones fade away

But of that which I have seen

The memories will stay
