The Ballad of an Exiled Soul
Escape, flee, run and hide,
shed all of your identity,
especially on the inside,
sleep less, eat just a little,
cast away all your desire,
in a heart torn and brittle,
work hard, keep your head low,
dismiss the dreams of yesterday,
drag on a cigarette, deep and slow,
save your coins, darn your socks,
forget all about her, how she smiled,
wash the ache away neat, not on the rocks,
catch a chill, fall sick, writhe and twist around,
give up, comatose in a nameless room, eye open,
waiting for release, in a hole in the cold ground.
