Company in Solitude Lyrics

I am lonely - I am not alone
We are together

Pleasure concomitant with pain
Joy and sorrow intertwine
On life's verdant tendrils
Ever so black

Dull ache crouches on my chest
Stupidity a curse
Intelligence a burden
Innocence is bliss
My need for more - inconsequential
Symbiotic relationship
(With wallowing in sadness)
Not for others - not for us

United in our solitude
Contentedly wasting our lives
I want to exchange my gift
Fate chooses my thread
As life unravels
You never put the thread back -
Back into place

As black as my life
As dark as my thread
As strong as concrete
As weak as thought
Drown it for a moment
Choke it by the throat
Sever its air... kill it

I scream so loudly
But I cannot hear myself
...Anymore

Pain dulls through repetition
Part played incessantly
The same night over the next exact
Easy to deny the boredom
(Simply ignore the guilt)
Of doing what we have done
Of doing what I have done

Join in loneliness
We shall rise... never... eternally
We hang below the neophytes
The strand splitting
(Evidence only in electric pulses of memory
Twisted around my life's verdant tendrils
Ever so black)
Dilemma we only wish for
(Hopes unanswered)
As we drift into yesterday
Will I see tomorrow
It's a million years away...
