Lyrics
0:01Come into my solitude
0:03Though I weary be
0:05Come into my tenderness
0:08Dream along with me
0:10Listen to the whispers sing
0:12Listen to the singers shout
0:15Come into my solitude
0:17Me and my big mouth
0:29Thoughts unspoken thoughts unsaid
0:31Lies of hearth and home
0:34Children broken on the bed
0:36And left to lie alone
0:39Things you talk around
0:41Scum you chock on down
0:44Come into my solitude
0:46Step on sacred ground
0:57We were speaking
0:59Of values and violence
1:02Breaking silence
1:13Fathers who are lovers
1:14To the daughters that they own
1:17Mothers who don't leave a child
1:20In a single safety zone
1:22People so unhinged
1:24That death is much to kind
1:27Come into my solitude
1:30Step over that line
1:31Thought I was the only one
1:33Thought I was the only one
1:36Thought I was the only
1:37Thought I was the only
1:39Only one
1:54We were speaking
1:55Of values and violence
1:59Breaking silence
2:20Come into my solitude
2:22Welcome to the wheel
2:29Come into this wonderland
2:32Of wounds that will not heal
2:39Walls that do not speak
2:42Steps that do not sound
2:45Come into my solitude
2:47Burn this building down
Come into my solitude Though I weary be Come into my tenderness Dream along with me Listen to the whispers sing Listen to the singers shout Come into my solitude Me and my big mouth Thoughts unspoken thoughts unsaid Lies of hearth and home Children broken on the bed And left to lie alone Things you talk around Scum you chock on down Come into my solitude Step on sacred ground We were speaking Of values and violence Breaking silence Fathers who are lovers To the daughters that they own Mothers who don't leave a child In a single safety zone People so unhinged That death is much to kind Come into my solitude Step over that line Thought I was the only one Thought I was the only one Thought I was the only Thought I was the only Only one We were speaking Of values and violence Breaking silence Come into my solitude Welcome to the wheel Come into this wonderland Of wounds that will not heal Walls that do not speak Steps that do not sound Come into my solitude Burn this building down
