Exile

Movie screen, wasted time
Dying for a sip of tasteless wine
Canvas skin, fingerprints
Markings of your memories of bliss

Miles behind the dark red line
Overstay your welcome in my mind
I can't sleep, I'm in too deep
Quench the sour taste of the fruits you reap

Escape before the feeling grows
Cut off ties before you overdose
The ground crumbles and the edge is close
You've got to let go

Fruit goes rotten from the skin to the core
Sneak out to the dawn outside my door
Known secrets that you can't hide
From granted entry to exile

Miles behind the dark red line
Dying for a sip of tasteless wine
Oh, why does it make me cry?
Staring at just one star in the sky

Escape before the feeling grows
Cut off ties before you overdose
The ground crumbles and the edge is close
You've got to let go

Chains are loose and the beast is wild
Betray the heart you once beguiled
Chords and melodies wasted on you
