Last Exit

Finely-tuned eyes; transparent disguise Charisma in lies concealing blue eyes I know you’ll have questions for likely suspects You’ll squeeze all your snitches for everything left But, reading this now, you know to be true My eyes like the ocean; adrift in the blue So take me away in the last midnight car Forgetting all the pain that led me this far Captivity leaving me feeling confined This body of mine is flawed by design Beg of me softly; and show me you care Now, witness the flame engulfing my hair Breathe into me, my last fantasy Bring to me wounds to wage against me Lost in remission; my crimson will glisten My methods persistent; lean in and listen Witness the rise and the fall of my chest The cage that was built for a final caress I’m rising above perceptions of me Cause nothing is ever as right as it seems So tell them the stories; dark alleys I knew The paths that I walked; a sunrise in view I’m free of designs in dead pine below With smiles to align; fallen angels you know
