Solace

So this is long gone
The things that you leave behind
The ones who will forge on
And brave through another night

Ain't it a strange thing?
The thought of not waking up
Can be a great consolation
To help you make it through another night

'cause when you're lost and you're making
The same mistakes again
Move from heartache to heartache
Just to find they've raised the stakes again

Maybe you're counting down the days
Bereft in ways they can't understand
Maybe you're counting all the ways
They can't save you anymore

Or why I won't know what you say
See we're speaking different languages, anyway
Making peace day to day
With the fact that you won't stay

Belied by your Shadowplay
I wish I'd known what darkness lay
Behind the fray

So, this is forgone
Your soul is not mine for to feel alive
This sickness is burgeoning
And I don't know anything

Am I already home?
Oh, who's to know?

'cause there's no answer to
The loneliness
The copious bitterness
The myriad of questions left for us to address

Wait a minute, babe
We're already home?
Who's to know?
