lyrics

Opium by Ezra Vancil

Opium a banished heart
cut a knife right through the door
cross the pain and the seven seas
to the land, the land of ease
In the day the cradle fell..
…in the car your heart as well
to the sailor lost at sea
some mail bought poetry

might as well, a world well lost
too high the bitter cost
in a dress not made for you
Opium: the solitude
read a book of poetry
neath the shade of an old oak tree
talk about the verse and rhyme
tell me about it one more time

Did you dream in colors too…
…bright against the world you knew
tender are the tender parts
broken is the broken heart
in the bed or in the wine
looking for something divine
on the cross or in the grave
with nothing left to save

In the eyes of burning green
in the soul left unseen
Opium the banished heart
floating in the ocean dark
make it numb and make it grey
just live another day
walk a mile and find a bed
rest the demons in your head
