"Clove Smoke Catharsis" lyrics - AFI

Lean against the night and laugh
As I try to scale the wall
Ignored futility fills the air
You're only there to watch me fall
Watch me fall, watch me

[Chorus:]
If only pure sweetness was offered
Why is this bitter taste left in my mouth?
If I could catch my breath, just to exhale
I'd know that I held it in too long

From above comes a faint smile
A new vantage, such a view
Familiarity, now disowned
Just sit and stare, as I walk away
Walk away, watch me

[Chorus:]
If only pure sweetness was offered
Why is this bitter taste left in my mouth?
If I could catch my breath, just to exhale
I'd know that I held it in too long

[Chorus:]
If only pure sweetness was offered
Why is this bitter taste left in my mouth?
If I could catch my breath, just to exhale
I'd know that I held it in too long
If only pure sweetness was offered
Why is this bitter taste left in my mouth?
If I could catch my breath, just to exhale
I'd know that I held it in too long
