Smoke in a Big World

Verse 1

Big world spinning but I’m stuck in one chair

Ash on the floor and nobody there

Phone don’t ring, guess the silence won

Funny how the crowd disappears when the damage is done

I gave my trust like a hand to hold

Now it’s cold smoke drifting through the cold

Thought we were brothers, thought love was real

Turns out loyalty ain’t something people feel

Pre-Chorus

Now the night knows my name

And the flame feels like a friend

Chorus

Just a lonely stoner in a world too wide

Watching every promise burn and die

Rolling up the pain just to pass the time

While the ghosts of my past sit by my side

Yeah I trusted hearts that turned to stone

Now I walk this earth alone

Just a lonely stoner in a world so cold

Breathing out the truth in clouds of smoke

Verse 2

They smiled in my face while they sharpened the knife

Said they loved me but they loved my life

Funny how loyalty fades away

When the night gets dark and the skies turn gray

I remember nights when the crew was tight

Now it’s just me and a neon light

Talking to the stars like they understand

How the world can break a trusting man

Bridge

Maybe I was blind, maybe I believed

Maybe every word they said was just make-believe

But the smoke don’t lie when it fills my lungs

And the silence hits louder than a loaded gun

Final Chorus

Just a lonely stoner in a world too wide

Watching every memory pass me by

Rolling up the hurt just to stay alive

While the truth burns slow in the midnight sky

Yeah the world kept turning when they let me go

Now the only peace I know

Is a lonely stoner in a world so cold

Letting all the pain drift out in smoke
