When the Smoke Clears 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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
