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
