"When The Smoke Clears" lyrics - MATISYAHU

[Intro:]
When the smoke clears, they just forget again
I stare into space like you just let 'em in
When the moon is full, we begin again
As the time is ticking, so tell me where's the medicine

Now the summer rolls around, it's the tail end
Wind up in my sails, I'm wondering when will this tale end
I'm hung up by a nail, keep sliding and watch the rail bend
This year has been such a, such a hell of a hair bend but

[Chorus:]
When the smoke clears, they just forget again
I stare into space like you just let 'em
When the moon is full, we begin again
'Cause the time is ticking and we ran out of medicine

Music is the only thing in this crazy world that makes sense to me
How can I live with this pressure when it's raining down on me?
Roots stay like a tree, how can I stand when they stand on me?
Yes, we shall see, I demand like when they split the sea
Like the waves, like the waves of the past centuries
You're telling me, I'm telling you but now we just can't see

[Chorus:]
When the smoke clears, they just forget again
I stare into space like you just let 'em in
When the moon is full, we begin again
'Cause the time is ticking and we ran out of medicine

[Bridge:]
When the bubble bust
The bubble pop like a kettle top
It's whistling up, it's burning hot
It'll never stop, it'll never drop

[Chorus:]
When the smoke clears, they just forget again
I stare into space like you just let 'em in
When the moon is full, we begin again
'Cause the time is ticking and we ran out of medicine

[Outro:]
When the smoke clears
I stare into space
When the moon is full
'Cause the time is ticking
