🎙️ This track is part of the album Ashes Don’t Fade.

Lyric

I thought the fire was done.
Ashes cold and the battle run.
But every breath I take, I smell the war
still lingering by my door.

You left like a whisper in July,
no goodbye, just a fading sky.
But the wind still cries your name,
like the past still plays the game.

The smoke remembers
what I try to forget.
Every scar, every word, every breath we regret.
It floats through the rafters,
it clings to my coat
like a ghost made of cinders and hope.

Yeah, the fire may be gone,
but the smoke remembers.

Old photographs,
burned corners torn.
Letters you wrote now weather-worn.
Your shadow dances in a flame,
I lie just to feel your name.

I move the bed, I change the locks,
I painted over all the chalk.
But your silence sticks to these walls
like smoke that never falls.

The smoke remembers
what I try to forget.
Every fight, every touch, every drink we regret.
It wraps around my lungs
when I breathe in the night,
like sorrow in the shape of life.

Yeah, the fire may be gone,
but the smoke remembers.

I never meant to let it burn,
but some lessons we never learn.
Now I walk through rooms we used to live,
haunted by what smoke won’t forgive.

Sometimes I swear I hear your laugh
in the crackle of a photograph.
Sometimes I sleep with the window cracked,
just to let your memory back.

The smoke remembers
what I try to erase.
Every lie, every tear, every hollow embrace.
It moves through the crowd
where the light used to be,
like a hymn with no melody.

Yeah, the fire may be gone,
but the smoke remembers me.

Ashes on my boots,
set on my shirt.
Time moved on,
but I still hurt.
Some things don’t fade with a flame —
smoke remembers just the same.
