Solace

Verse 1

All this time I waste

Shadows made to chase

A deed done in haste

An easy fall from grace  

Drained, demeaned, displaced

Dark demons in the face

A Joker not an aceLast hare of the race 

Chorus 1

So when plans are failing, depleted down and blue

Throwing the towel and bailing, I find solace in you

When my sky is falling and sunrise overdue  A day decays to galling, I find solace in you

Verse 2

My search goes on in vain

A mere pawn in the game

Answers are just the same

Only me to blame

When madness seems so sane

Pleasure hurts more than pain

A life caught in refrain

Excuses become lame 

Chorus 2

An ego gets a mauling, falsehoods become true

Deceptive sirens calling, I find solace in you

Self-induced stonewalling, failure of the glue

A wreck reduced to bawling, I find solace with you

Final Chorus

When life becomes a burden, injustices accrue

If the future seems uncertain, I find solace in you
