Solitude Lyrics

Solitude

A dead and silent brew

A body to seclude

Works best when no one's coming to look

Saturday

Is when people could play

Is when no one would say

Suspicion's overridden desire

For a moment I'm more than just myself

Then I tell them all to go to hell

The ride home's a flashback of a few days

They made a speakeasy of my space

Spirited

Away from all the dread

Bore a hole in my head

Responsibility is not mine

Sorcery

Illusions of the free

Leaving bruises on me

What did I sign that made me the town fool

For a moment I'm more than just myself

Though aware of its temporary spell

The ride home's a morphing of my face

They made a speakeasy of my space

Sassenach

Going up for the black

Like a knife in the back

Leaving well enough the hell alone

I'm a rat

Feeding my belly fat

Going out for a chat

Rationalize a smile on my mug

For a moment I'm more than just myself

Voluntarily locked in a lonely shell

I was late and lost the only cell

So tonight I'm resting on the swell

When I wake up I'm off to crack the bell

Riding home says more than I can tell

It'll fade no matter my embrace

They made a speakeasy of my space
