lyrics
EXILE
We’ve agreed, my wife and me that we would leave the past over us. And journey south, to counter weigh. So I remain only sentenced in bold print. And our plan to bear another, will emancipate us here. Hear the tales of my exile. But you’ll not be hearing from me, or seeing me.
The flair and heat of the carnival street, their sallow bodies cry. And could you imagine being anywhere else but here. For here is the future and there is then, for him for her and me. It was born as the heist for the dreamer, who’s sunburned on the breeze.
It’s a cross to bear and a line to tow, for the reckless and culpable so and so. Where the day never ends and the night wont start. And the son’s never quiet in the silent parts.
So we’ll be here, my wife and me. The walls and rivers they will keep us safe within. And doesn’t this, seem strange to him, we never talk about our home or origin. My little son, he’s my protector, he’s assumed a role that’s mine. Hear the tales of my exile. But you’ll not be hearing from me, or seeing me.
