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
