Smoke Sign

[ Lyrics ]

I’m not calling you back—just sending smoke.
 + soft Afro swing rim tap into groove)

You checked my name three times last week,
I saw the ghost of you in my sleep.
But I don’t answer texts from the past,
I’m moving quiet—no sparks, no flash.
My phone stays dark, my door stays shut,
I wear my peace like a tailored cut.
You want a reason, a fight, a cry—
But I’m just breathing, learning to fly.

I used to run back when you made that sound,
now I just wait ‘til the feeling’s gone.
Not cold, not cruel—just protecting my tone,
you don’t get rage, you don’t get a throne.

Smoke sign, smoke sign—rising slow,
letting you know I’m letting it go.
Not a word, not a call, just a trace in the air,
I’m healing in silence, not falling for your prayer.
Smoke sign, smoke sign—soft and bold,
I’m not your story, I’m not your hold.

Saw your new pic, laughed at the pose,
still got that charm, still wear it close.
But I don’t burn, I don’t compare,
I’ve got my own fire now in the air.
I dance alone to my midnight tune,
not chasing ghosts or a second moon.
You left a crater, I planted seeds,
now there’s green where you couldn’t breathe.

I won’t explain why I stepped away,
or cry the truths I refuse to say.
Healing ain’t linear, it don’t need your light—
I’m glowing dimmer, but I’m glowing right.

If you’re looking for closure, I’m not that girl.
If you’re looking for drama, I’ve unfurled.
I’m not your mirror, I’m not your flame,
just smoke in the wind, slowly changing shape.

Smoke sign, smoke sign—rising slow,
letting you know I’m letting it go.
Not a word, not a call, just a trace in the air,
I’m healing in silence, not falling for your prayer.
Smoke sign, smoke sign—soft and bold,
I’m not your story, I’m not your hold.

Smoke sign…
