Xionis - Smoke in the Air Lyrics

Standing still at the edge of the night
Waiting for the bus under flickering lights
The world feels calm, but the air's not clean
A stranger's cigarette disrupts the serene
I'm breathing in what I don't deserve
A toxic cloud that is severing earth
Can't escape, no where to go
The wind just carries the unwanted show
Smoke in the air, it lingers and stays
Still in the moment, cloud in my ways
I'm just a passenger in this smoky haze
Wishing for fresh air, counting the days
The flaming nights, the amber glows
Uninvited, the annoyance grows
I'm not part of this, yet I'm trapped inside
A silent protest while the smoke takes its ride
I'm breathing in what I don't deserve
A toxic cloud that is severing earth
Can't escape, no where to go
The wind just carries the unwanted show
Smoke in the air, it lingers and stays
Still in the moment, cloud in my ways
I'm just a passenger in this smoky haze
Wishing for fresh air, counting the days
Smoke in the air, it lingers and stays
Still in the moment, cloud in my ways
I'm just a passenger in this smoky haze
Wishing for fresh air, counting the days
I dream of skies where the air is clear
Where no burning paper lingers near
A simple wish, is it too much to ask
To wait in peace without the smoke's mask
I dream of skies where the air is clear
Where no burning paper lingers near
A simple wish, is it too much to ask
To wait in peace without the smoke's mask
Smoke in the air, it lingers and stays
Still in the moment, cloud in my ways
I'm just a passenger in this smoky haze
Wishing for fresh air, counting the days
I close my eyes and I leave it behind
But the scent still lingers in my mind
Smoke in the air, it fades away
But I'll remember this moment another day
