marigolden - just like smoke (garden version) lyrics
just like smoke
+ marigolden
verse 1
summertime preying on my mind playing tricks, like
everybody else has got it down by 26, and i’m
lagging behind
you can see it in my eyes
i don’t compromise, don’t apologise
if i’m in the right, but at the same time
i’ve been taught to be quiet
taught to restrict my diet
taught that’s the only way to be happy with your body
and i know it ain’t true
trying to live hammer and tooth
i’m trying to be living proof
you can put your privilege to good use
and i won’t lie
far too often i use a gin and vermouth
to calm my nerves, eyes
dreams up to the skies
keep ‘em flying, keep ‘em rising
we empty bottles but we’re filling them with flowers
learning of our powers
and saying out loud, the kind of life we wanna lead
and i’ll drink to that, for you and for me
pre+chorus
though my voice might shake and my lips might turn blue
i got a strength inside
quit stepping on my fire
jump aside
i’m about to light it higher
chorus
just like smoke we rise up
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
just like smoke we rise up
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
verse 2
these kinda women i’m thinking of
live, breathe, and drinking of
they stood up, stood forward
‘cause they knew the cost of silence
violence
slamming doors, screeching tyres
it’s timeless
time and time again
well, i was raised to be a questioner
if it doesn’t feel right, pick it apart
don’t let your heart be lesser
than your mind
treat your mind kind
if i follow that path, there’s good things i’ll find
pre+chorus
though my voice might shake and my lips might turn blue
i got a strength inside
quit stepping on my fire
jump aside
i’m about to light it higher
chorus
just like smoke we rise up
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
just like smoke we rise up
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
bridge
i’m not working for a seat
i’m not working for a seat
i’m not working for a seat, i’m building my own table
feed me if you think i’m able
leave me, if you need to, okay
i’d never blame you, no way
but i’m trying to stay for longer these days
trying to get through the bad phase
working hard to keep my safe sp+ce sacred
i’m listening to my gut
and i meet my heart with what my brain said
sometimes my brain plays tricks
sometimes my heart does flips
sometimes i bite lip
sometimes i can’t see through it
sometimes i can’t see through it
but so far, i’ve always come through it
chorus
just like smoke we rise up
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
just like smoke we rise up
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
