EXIT LINE

There was a wolf haunting the harbor
in a jacket made of lamb
and I was treading water
when through the fog, there cut a hand
I didn't recognize the figure
I didn't know how far I'd gone
so I gave up my posessions
and tied my hopes to all those stones

Became a guest in my own castle
an imposter in my shoes
sending wishes to the magician
who was promising dubloons
but when I peeked behind the curtain
there was nothing there but empty cups
and a couple fading photos
of a man whose time had come

This is my exit line
this is my cyanide pill
to let a masquerade of lullabies
leave you writhing on that hill
Not gonna waste my time
dead leaves on your window sill
oh it's a masquerade of lullabies

Now there's a figure in my doorway
who holds the key to all my thoughts
he says he's come to fold my laundry
but he's just tying it in knots
I should've listened to the whistle
when the blower's face turned red
now I'm crawling through the tranches
I should be calling shots instead

This is my exit line
this is my cyanide pill
to let a masquerade of lullabies
leave you writhing on that hill
Not gonna waste my time
dead leaves on your window sill
oh it's a masquerade of lullabie

I give this gift to you
a song that I won't ever sing
so you can put it in your cupboard
next to that old forgotten ring
the one you've never shown me
the one you wouldn't dare describe
but oh I caught a glimpse in the reflection in your eye

This is my exit line
this is my cyanide pill
to let a masquerade of lullabies
leave you writhing on that hill
Not gonna waste my time
dead leaves on your window sill
oh it's a masquerade of lullabies
Just an offering to sacrifice
a masquerade of lullabies
