Lyrics Cloud of Smoke - K Rino

Cloud of Smoke

Life be moving fast, don’t it?
Each second its own component
Long uncountable amounts of happy times and lonely moments
You were crafted built to last
To every soul He gives a task
Recollection is the only way you can relive the past
All that you were able to recall and in between spots
Memories are life events rethought in mental screen shots
Any type of advice you get or thinking after life is next
‘cause in the grand infinite scheme we’re only here a micro spec
Self-reflection increases ‘cause each birthday that leaves us leads to degrees
of aging to our facial features
Transformations we just don’t perceive but they still reach us
lay beneath what situations teach us
But they diminish so don’t act as if your days are endless
Know that your physical traits are only a fading image
A time will come you’ll have to leave this post without a vote
‘cause one day you’ll evaporate and vanish like a cloud of smoke
Like a cloud of smoke
Gone like a cloud of smoke
All will disappear as the years, months and the hours go
Hard to try to grow while simultaneously tryna cope
Existence temporary, you can’t stay when it decides to go
The ticking clock propels us through the life phases that held us
Generational cycles take us from babies to elders
Somewhere in between, the body and mental align
You feel invincible in mind as you enter your prime
The years can prove to be unkind when you’ve been through the grind
And over time, your energy will begin to decline
People we used to touch are now only viewed in our spirits
We start to see the years remove our friends' youthful appearance
Time is proven, all molecular units are moving
Gathered masses of matter we never knew were illusions
We share the same places trillions of past occupants
Many of them that history was unable to document
So each version of ourselves we see them and leave them
Memory not even guaranteed to cerebrally freeze them
They all will cease to be despite how you’re seeking to keep them
Retrieving previous seasons is the reason we need them
Gone like a cloud of smoke
Gone like a cloud of smoke
All will disappear as the years, months and the hours go
Hard to try to grow while simultaneously tryna cope
Existence temporary, you can’t stay when it decides to go
Picture a smoke cloud from the moment that it’s sent out
It starts and grows large then it begins to slowly thin out
You see it in its fullness as it passes through the physical
Then it dispels eventually, waning 'til it’s invisible
And this is typical of all life forms that we know
From animals to plant life, insects and all people
The path of organic transformation is continual
And when you’re through, you may not resemble how some remembered you
‘cause days pass
You begin to age and gain gray hairs
The way that you once looked, you’re unable to stay there
The mind matures more with each day of wisdom absorbance
‘cause things you used to love before are no longer important
If your gradual change is hard to fathom
Get a picture of yourself from every decade and compare them
Then you might understand this concept I’m tryna tell you
And dwell on the effect you’ll have on people who inhale you
