Consolation

Xymox

I put my arms around you, your body stalls and droops

I give you consolation but there's nothing I can do

Estranged I listen to a voice so scared

Like a martyr from another world, I no longer share



The anguish of a thousand days, the fear of life like everyone

Against there is no chance to swim, you have to simply drift along



Everyday the sting moves deeper, one day it will reach your soul

It's near so close at hand for everyone



No more consolation, no more aggravation,

no more I am making changes for everyone



Your eyes are breaking, the curtain is to drop

You want her here but you never begged before

If I could only scream and silence your voice

I might achieve to wake you up and make you come to a stop

When my world is quiet and no one fills my head

I give it one more thought and put it back to bed



Everyday the sting moves deeper, one day it will reach your soul

It's near so close at hand I hope you understand



No more consultation, no more aggravation,

No more I am making changes for everyone
