Clove Smoke Catharsis - AFI

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 is 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

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 is 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 is 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 is 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
