Picking Up Smoke Songtext
von Harvey Causon

I was only checking out half
All of my belongings in place
Could have picked a finer day
Never had a precipice to face

It became such a big task
All of that prolonging brought me haste
Running off a ton of faith
Never was a pessimist till late

Took down, I′m beaten, I'm broke
I put out, I bleed for my show
Never got it sounding good alone
Gotta clear the soot out from my throat

Love that you grow
Hate that you know
Love that you grow
Hate that you know


Love that you grow
Hate that you know
Love that you grow
Hate that you know

Tried to reign in something so vast
All of my becomings at the stake
Could have picked a finer chase
Never had the energy for shade

Why you have to put it so stark
Slipping on the leverage I make
Running off a ton of faith
Never was a pessimist till late

Took down, I′m beaten, I'm broke
I put out, I bleed for my show
Never got it sounding good alone
Gotta clear the soot out from my throat

Tuckered out the lead in the smoke
Thought that I would breed the ensembles
Couldn't hack the menace overflow
Hedge a bet or greet a bitter soul


Love that you grow
Hate that you know
Love that you grow
Hate that you know

Love that you grow
Hate that you know
Love that you grow
Hate that you know

I′m like a preacher with the strength of my beliefs
I′m like Kanye when I'm on and off the
I′m like Heyerdahl when I'm on the seven seas
But I′ll be like seventy when I stop to kiss a breeze
My lack of empathy comes up when I eat
I'm like Hades when I′m working the deceased
Ribs are opened up I'm living care free
I'm on a steeplechase eighteen days a week

I was just picking up smoke
Thought I could do this shit up on my own
Been hanging up for hours in the flow
Forgetting that it′s seven in the morn

I was just picking up smoke
Thought I could do this shit up on my own
Been hanging up for hours in the flow
Forgetting that it′s seven in the

I was just picking up smoke
Thought I could do this shit up on my own
Been hanging up for hours in the flow
Forgetting that it's seven in the morn

I was just picking up smoke
Thought I could do this shit up on my own
Been hanging up for hours in the flow
Forgetting that it′s seven in the
