Two Solitudes - Misery Signals

There is no time, there will be no revival

When I took you in I was looking for a key

Another solitude to border mine

Holding out for truer lies, born to sharpen knives

The lives we sought to lead became the distances

And soon the years crept in

Between me and my dearest friends

There is no time, there will be no revival

On the day I broke I was looking for a cure

Laying my head between a lion’s jaws

Surrendered to the end, born to sharpen knives

When you poison us does it feel like revenge?

Every scalp that my blade has taken

I laid them at your feet for your judgement

So swing my guilt against me

Does it feel like revenge?

My debts will not be settled, they die with me

My debts will not be paid, they die with me

The taste of blood still on our tongues

We don’t stay satisfied for long

The suffering is said to make you strong

But the damages repaid were not enough

We don’t stay satisfied for long
