Goodbye Blue Monday - Exile (Official Audio)
I will exile myself from this unfolding dystopia
To gaze on hazed horizons with myopia
Of distorted visions that blind my fate
Setting suns, setting sights on escape
To have something to grasp on to
But the grass grows greener in distant lands
But the weeds ran through my fingers
And the blades cut my hands
To savour the longing of home soil
And get the taste for a mouthful of dirt
Caked in mud that just won’t clean off
So I’ll just keep changing my shirt
But in this life, there is no running away
There’s no return when there’s no escape
So I’ll let the world turn on me
And without me
And I’ll become just another stain
To become: a lonewolf, an outsider. The anomic
Absorbed in this catatonic
Suffering
in this madness I’ve built
My isolation fuels my guilt
In this construction forces everyone away
This solitary asylum, I rattle these chains
Kicking and screaming
Kicking and screaming
I just want to belong
No I don’t want to be someone
Who just watches life pass by
I just want to belong
I just want to be someone
Who’s not afraid to live their life
