Smoke Signals

[Verse]
Clouds in my lungs, weight on my mind—pressure,
Zone in the haze, tryna slow down the aggressor.
Blunt talk, no therapy, just me and the leaf,
Torchlight flicker, shadowboxing my grief.
[Chorus]
Smoke signals rise, pain drifts to the sky,
Every puff a whisper saying, "I don't wanna die."
Ashes on the floor but they won't sweep my sorrow,
I burn today to hope I wake tomorrow.
[Verse 2]
Eyes red, heart heavy, soul on a tether,
Roll another up, 'cause I ain't got it together.
Rainstorm within, can't forecast the weather,
Broke compass, lost path—forever? Nah, never.
[Bridge]
Echoes in the silence, screaming at the night,
Violin strings tug hard, got my chest tight.
Piano keys moan like they feel what I hide,
A coping mechanism where the hurt can't reside.
[Verse 3]
Breath reclaiming peace, inhale my retreat,
But green can’t cover crimson when life’s on delete.
Still I front for the mirror, acting stubbornly meek,
King of the jungle but the growl turned weak.
[Chorus]
Smoke signals rise, pain drifts to the sky,
Every puff a whisper saying, "I don't wanna die."
Ashes on the floor but they won't sweep my sorrow,
I burn today to hope I wake tomorrow.
