Kneejerk - Solace lyrics

My eyes kept down on the tourniquet of lies
That stems the flow and clouds my vision
We must face despair
Defiant and clinging to shards of
Hope that cut my fingers
But when i catch me staring at you I
Can't help hoping that i'll make it through
Twelve straight hours with no sleep
Only candlelight
To guide, spilling hope hate and love
Cleansing everything a new
In these moments of exhaustion
Skin damp with relief
We can be each other's crutch
Please never let me go out of tears and ashes
Hope i find solace in these little victories

But optimism isn't an option for
Those cursed with sight
The path is dark and uninviting
But follow it we must
Treacherous fucking world - I
Won't be fooled again
I'll feel no pain now never again will I
Crack under the pressure of this world
Hope against hope
When every day the load gets heavier but
With every step i take my back
Grows straighter and the focus I retain
Will bring me to the end
I find solace in these little victories

Six hours with you: six weeks of pain
Perhaps in time it will fade
Perhaps in time it will go away
At least i'm safe from the devil in my own
Hell i find solace in these little victories
