Leaf by leaf and page by page
Thrown this book away
All the sadness, all the rage
Throw this book away
Rip out the binding and tear the glue
Now 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
Never really happened
Now all the people come and gone
Never really lived
And 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 is 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, smoke, 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 and travel
Those who say the past is not dead
Can stop and smell the smoke
You keep sayin' the past is not dead
Stop and smell the smoke
You keep on sayin' the past is not even past
And you keep sayin' we are smoke, smoke, smoke
