when smoke signals fail to relay danger

this isn't the beauty in the sadness
or the order to my madness
this simply follows the addage that
chaos isn't only found in the mind of the savage
so what're you looking for
with that gleam in your eye you're
just hoping to find something more
than you've been promised all those times before
first i look at your past
then i tear it in half
dividing all the good from the bad
setting each stack aflame
and seeing which one will longer last
as the smoke clears
and adheres
to the rivers of tears
caused by the fear
that each year
becomes harder to persevere
you slowly start turning
your head to the still burning
soon becoming ashes, but lasting
longer than the now wind-catching
stacks of pros and cons
and find the will to move on
when you realize that it's not the cons
of your life that still burns bright
now look this savage in the eye
and see his chaos come alive
'cause it's the beauty in
the sadness of your sigh
you let that you're relieved
that takes the madness from my life
