Smoke

Build your cold calculations like Towers toward heaven above There in the balance of everything Pray that the numbers add up You say heaven is falling down Crushing the world with its weight But if push came to shove you'd be Holding the sky in its place So it goes You say fire, but all I see is smoke So it goes You say fire, but all I see is smoke Tell yourself it's a story book Built out of lies from the deep But if these dragons aren't fairy tales you're Selling your sons to the beast. If you're holding out for perfect truth There's nothing left that I can say Maybe there's something that's sacred in Waiting to be swept away. So it goes You say fire, but all I see is smoke So it goes You say fire, but all I see is smoke If I knew every consequence I might watch the world fan the flames 'Cause maybe the only redemption is Burning the bridge to escape. So it goes You say fire, but all I see is smoke So it goes You say fire, but all I see is smoke
