Fuel - Solace Lyrics

Draw the shades and close my eyes
(I never want to see again)
I found the cost of courage high
(Sometimes hard to pay)
I hear the song the Sirens sing
(Calling on the shore for me)
So sell your soul and try to fly
(The tether still remains)

And all the finer things they laid upon my table
Smiled as their hooks were slowly sinking in

Another pill I'm to consume
(To make me learn to feel again)
Is followed by another one
(To make me loose the same)
God, if I could recognize
(The things to make me whole again)
And draw this air into my lungs
(Remember how to breathe)

For as the curtain rose I danced as I was able
Felt my deception slowly sinking in

And so I turn to you, my love
(For the solace that is there)
And offer any cherished thing
(For a slight reprieve)
I hoped that you might find me here
(And I could learn to smile again)
And as a balm for these wounds
(Take away the sting)

And as the band did play your body I did cradle
I should have known that song would have to end
