My Solace Ain't Here

I don't know how you found me
But now you surround me
Yeah you live under my skin
And when I try to reach you
And all I get is silence
That's when it begins to sink its teeth in

You tore the path on which I stood
Got me so high
You blinded me
I could fly for a little while
Then crashed back to earth
In your gravity

My solace ain't here
I still feel the echoes of your love
My conscious ain't clear
My soul, it wasn't enough for you

Laid out my weaponry
Let you see all parts of me
You know the pleasures that I seek
This life, it teaches tough love
This love has me tasting blood
And now my body, my mind is weak

Your shadow still wanders through
All the futures I see
I see
Am I even on your mind?
I think about it all the time
You're so far away from me

My solace ain't here
I still feel the echoes of your love
My conscious ain't clear
My soul, it wasn't enough for you
Didn't mean to trap you here
Asking myself "how could anyone
Love a monster like me?"
You're only human
I should let you leave

You tease me, you bleed me
You bring me down
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I need you around
Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm begging you to stay
'Cause I need you
You know I'll leave you
But not today

You tease me, you bleed me
You bring me down
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I need you around
Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm begging you to stay
'Cause I need you, but I'll leave you
But not today

(You tease me, you bleed me
You bring me down)
Don't break me down (don't leave me, don't leave me)
I need you now (I need you around)

You tease me, you bleed me
You bring me down
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I need you around

Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm begging you to stay
'Cause I need you, I need you
But not today
