Adventures In Solitude Lyrics

Balancing on one wounded wing

Circling the edge of the never ending

The best of the vanished marvels

Have gathered inside your door



More than begin but less than forget

But spirits born from the not happened yet

Gathering there to pay off a debt

Brought back from the wars



We thought, we lost you

We thought, we lost you

We thought, we lost you

Welcome back



Sleeping for years, pick through what is left

Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth

From the rainwater well deep as a secret nobody knows



Less than forget but more than begun

These adventures in solitude never done

To the names of our wounds

We send the same blood back from the wars



We thought, we lost you

We thought, we lost you

We thought, we lost you

It will all come back



I know you want to run far away

From one more and that it's comin' at a bad time

Some cold place heartless ways for all we know



I know you need to breathe through

Come back, come too but it's comin' at a bad time

Tangled day for all we know



I know you want to run far away from one more

And that's comin' at a bad time

Some cold race heartless ways for all we know



I know you want to breathe through

Come back, come too but it's comin' at a bad time

Old scarred face survivor's guilt, for all we know
