the night falls around me and I find no solace even in the shadows resembling my darkening mind the sounds of the world rushing by on the freeway middle of the night anxious to get home to their family I am anxious to get home too I am in the passenger seat of a car going faster than seems possible and here I find no solace I am with the one I love and holding her hearing her breathing and making her world better and here still I find no solace. here still I hear screams of my own trapped self in my head and indulgence beckons me… tie off and shoot up… tie off and shoot up here STILL I find no solace. the coo of a baby meaning worlds to me still I find no solace the darkening world around me; here I find no solace the love of a woman; here I find no solace the promise of better days ahead; here I find no solace. nothing can quiet the screaming in my head, still the unrest within my skin never do I find solace.
