Wine And Blood

Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels to come

Where she used to feel the weight of a thousand lifetimes

Now she just feels numb

But there was a time when her beauty raised the eyebrows of the town

Any man would gladly give up all he had just to take Desiree down

She stares out the window at the world passing by

She is caught beneath the wheel

Too heavy to lift, she feels too weak to try

People stare like strangers where once she might've asked them in

To fill the void where her heart once was

Now she just fills her glass again

And again

And she walks the floor less traveled

Thinks of a sad melody

Wine and blood don't mix like they used to

Now they just make a memory

Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man

Now the picture is clear

She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past

'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears

All these half-truths and alibis help build a wall of denial

She takes comfort in the night, darkness blocks the light

From falling on her aging smile

Grey befalls her halo where there once was a golden mane

And her eyes don't shine like they used to

Without the moon, the sun would be in vain

So she walks the floor less traveled

Thinks of a sad melody

Wine and blood don't mix like they used to

Now they just make a memory

Too many years trying to the right thing for the wrong man

Now the picture is clear

She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past

'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears

She puts on h er make-up, though no one's seen her for days

Her silence is a lonely cry

She's trapped inside a maze

Her tears have turned to honey, drawing the black flies of depression

Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels again
