Solace

Routine has washed away the laughs
Colors have faded and turned to gray
You’re overwhelmed by the same thoughts
A haunting of every day

People have changed, time has passed
Most friends have slowly scattered
Good times now belong to the past
All you dream of is being a bird

This life’s like a maelstrom
Better luck next time, you tried
Will chemicals satiate the inner worm?
Have these flowers, your brother died

Since this life’s like a maelstrom
I’ll stay with you until the end
We’re all waiting for death to come
So let’s wait for it hand in hand

Equity’s but a mere utopy
Salvation for few, starvation for most
How come we don’t drown in misanthropy
When mankind is eating at its host?

People smile and just pass by
You’re left with your own disease
And you can’t help but wonder why
No one can make the pain to cease

‘Cause we’re all caught in some maelstrom [x4]

Rivers flow and fires burn
People try to run or hide
Maybe should we start to learn
We all should stand side by side

This world swirls in a maelstrom
Come to me, I’ll take your hand
No matter what’s the outcome
We’ll stand together until the end

Since this world swirls in a maelstrom
I keep in mind all the times you cried
Together we’ll get through the storm
Waiting for the sun, side by side
