Leaf by leaf and page by page throw this book away
All the sadness all the rage throw this book away
Rip out the binding and tear the glue
All of the grief we never even knew
We had it all along
Now it's Smoke

The things we've written in it never really happened
All the things we've written in it never really happened
All the people come and gone never really lived
All the people come have gone no one to forgive
Smoke

We will not write a new one
There will not be a new one
Another one another one

Here's an evening dark with shame
Throw it on the fire
Here's the time I took the blame
Throw it on the fire
Here's the time we didn't speak
It seemed for years and years and
Here's a secret
No one will ever know the reasons for the tears
They are smoke

We will not write a new one
There will not be a new one
Another one another one

Where do all the secrets live
They travel in the air
You can smell them when they burn
They travel
Those who say the past is not dead
Can stop and smell the smoke
You keep saying the past is not dead
Well stop and smell the smoke
You keep on saying the past is not even past and
You keep on saying we are, Smoke
