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 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
