no one can help you but you no one can say anything true
no one can save you but me i will be the answer that you seek

if you wait until the smoke has all cleared

no one can help you but you, no one can say anything true
no one can save you but me i will be the answer that you seek
if you
if you wait until the smoke has all cleared
wait until the ashes have blown away
wait until the fire dies down
wait until you can feel alive again
