Pillar of Smoke

Verse 1

Pale light pours through the broken frame

Empty chair whispers out your name

Black cloth covers every mirror in this hall

Watch the soot start to settle and crawl

Pre-Chorus

I am reaching for a hand that isn't there

Choking on the sudden silence in the air

Buried under weight I cannot even name

Nothing ever stays the same

Chorus

Give me back the years the hollow earth stole

Cut the anchor dragging on my weary soul

I am screaming at the dirt until I choke

Life is just a pillar made of bitter smoke

Give it back

Give it back

Verse 2

Ghostly tracks mark the dusty floor

Searching for a lock on an open door

Blood turns cold like a river in the frost

Counting every second that I truly lost

Pre-Chorus

I am reaching for a hand that isn't there

Choking on the sudden silence in the air

Buried under weight I cannot even name

Nothing ever stays the same

Chorus

Give me back the years the hollow earth stole

Cut the anchor dragging on my weary soul

I am screaming at the dirt until I choke

Life is just a pillar made of bitter smoke

Give it back

Give it back

Bridge

Shatter the glass

Let the dark in

Stone over bone

Where do I begin

I came

I saw

I broke

Chorus

Give me back the years the hollow earth stole

Cut the anchor dragging on my weary soul

I am screaming at the dirt until I choke

Life is just a pillar made of bitter smoke

Give it back

Give it back
