Artist : Argonaut
Song : Secret Smoke

Lyrics :
Well I could just pretend that everything I've ever needed was living inside of you.
Under your skin. Under your breath.
But I've waited here for so long and I havn't seen this heaven yet.

But I wasn't built to hurt.
Only to expect this world and it's worst.
Put your hand in mine, let's go create a universe.
Now that you're the air I breathe.
Darling, you'll poison me...

Well I found my poisons and I make myself sick.
On an empty stomach.
That secret smoke that fills my lungs.
Til I can't think and I don't wonder,
what moment did we lose each other?

But I wasn't built to hurt.
Only to expect this world and it's worst.
Put your hand in mine, let's go create a universe.
Now that you're the air I breathe.
Darling, you'll poison me.

So that's how I left, with red anger in my eyes.
A distorted smile as I swallowed my cries.
And that's how I walked. These aching wounds are all my fault.
Could we have lived another year?
Would you have proved wrong all my fears?
Now I'm down here on the curb.
Drafting all the words you'll never hear.

But I wasn't built to hurt.
Only to expect this world and it's worst.
Put your hand in mine, let's go create a universe.
Now that you're the air I breathe.
Darling, you'll poison me...

But I wasn't built to hurt.
Only to expect this world and it's worst.
Put your hand in mine, let's go create a universe.
Now that you're the air I breathe.
Darling, you'll poison me...

Secret Smoke

An instrumental version of Argonaut's track; 'Two Winters'.

Two Winters (Instrumental)

I woke up hanging from your teeth and every word, as ever.
That's every day that I've known.
But now my ceiling's a little darker.
I still want you in my ever, but I've tasted real, and it's scarred my home.

From heartbeats pounding and your back against a wall.
Bodies face down in the sand, passing out on tired floors.
How did I fall?

My mind's on everything that I can't be.
And I'm not pleased. And I havn't slept at all.
Another night with the same old shadows, cursing corners of the room.
It's now a little darker under my breath.

From heartbeats pounding and your back against a wall.
Bodies face down in the sand, passing out on tired floors.
How did I fall?

I want you to be more than just a history.
All I'm missing out on while I'm facing an ocean.
You're just an ocean away.

You And Me Vs. The Ocean (Acoustic)

My mind's on all those photogenic moments no one will see.
And all those pre-booked journeys now with a single empty seat.
And how despite the distance, your finger prints still hold to me.
And I can't wash you away.

Why is it only when I'm lonely that I miss you?
'Cause I'm trying so hard to forget our love.
Filling this empty space with every familiar face,
Each reminding me that they are not enough.

I see your face in every shape that I lay next to, haunted.
This would be a tragedy if it wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Why is it only when I'm lonely that I miss you?
'Cause I'm trying so hard to forget our love.
Filling this empty space with every familiar face,
Each reminding me that they are not enough.

She cries alone, an open sore.
Now overflowing from your cures.
What has has become of your creation?
Another victim of the best intentions.

Why is it only when I'm lonely that I miss you?
'Cause I'm trying so hard to forget our love.
Filling this empty space with every familiar face,
Each reminding me that they are not.
Each reminding me that they are not.
Each reminding me that they are not enough.

Only When I'm Lonely (The Best Intentions)

Two Winters (The Love In This Room)

Just a little snow, like when we were young.
Please, just a little snow.
We didn't care about the cold, we had our fun.
And our mothers and our fathers got along.
Picture frames didn't take their place once they had gone.

Well I'm not the most religious.
But the love in this room is righteous.
And it's all for you.
It's all for you.
We don't need no roaring fire.
We'll stay warm by this desire.
And it's all for you.
It's all for you.

Two winters ago, I fell in and out of love.
Her head lay on my shoulder and my hand lay in her glove.
Close my eyes, found myself lost in you.
I just wish there was room in that heart for two.

Well I'm not the most religious.
But the love in this room is righteous.
And it's all for you.
It's all for you.
We don't need no roaring fire.
We'll stay warm by this desire.
And it's all for you.
It's all for you.

And I'll keep hold.
Of the words my father told.
The girl you love, much like your youth.
One day you'll have to let go.

And I'll keep hold.
Of the words my mother told.
Spend your hours wisely,
With the ones you love before the hour's old.

Well I'm not the most religious.
But the love in this room is righteous.
And it's all for you.
It's all for you.
We don't need no roaring fire.
We'll stay warm by this desire.
And it's all for you.
It's all for you.
