  • It's been years since anyone
    Could be a friend
    It's the fear that kills the feeling
    In the end
    Can we face it?
    Can we shape it?
    Can we really die?
    If rain is what you want
    All you have to do is close your eyes
    Just close your eyes

    I have watched your resurrection
    Start to crawl
    Is there any chance in hell? (Any chance in hell?)
    Any chance at all?
    Do we need it? Do we see it?
    Is it really there?
    If rain is what you want
    Then take your seats
    Enjoy the fall
    Enjoy the fall

    (Enjoy the fall)
    The only thing deeper than my last breath
    The only thing darker than my last death
    Is the panic, the static
    I've come back from the dead
    For my solace
    We'll never sleep again

    In these diamonds
    We're left with colored glass
    As pressure takes its toll
    We will outlast
    But you can't break my heart
    As long as I can be myself
    I'll never fall apart
    And you can't take me in
    If I'm not broken, break me down
    So I will never feel alone again

    The only thing deeper than my last breath
    The only thing darker than my last death
    Is the panic, the static
    I've come back from the dead
    For my solace
    We'll never sleep again

    My solace
    We'll never sleep again

    My solace
    We'll never sleep again

    My solace
    We'll never sleep again

    My solace
    We'll never sleep again Writer/s: COREY TAYLOR, CRAIG JONES, JAMES ROOT

  • Hd from St. LouisIt's my cities, not for my solace. Which makes complete sense thinking of what Corey said about the bands interpretation of how fans viewed them or expected them to grieve.
