In Exile

When I open my eyes

I'm in exile
No disguise
All around me lies untruths galore
My soul dies

So far from all I know
And like to love
I can't go
My life pulls my heart in tow, days go by
More so slow

You bring me home
In my thoughts, in my sleep, in my dreams
You bring me home
To my friends, to the real, to my family

In you I find my peace
A comfort hand
My reprieve
I'm able to fully leave this dreary place
A release
