Wine & 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
 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's 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
 Gray 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 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
 She puts on her 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
