I’m Leaving You for Solitude
I'm leaving you for solitude
I left myself so long ago
I'm leaving you for solitude

The days that I once craved
Left me staggered and left me dazed
Stretched my fears over ageing skin
Helps the denial to begin
I'm looking into the waves
Quiet moments are all that remains
Internalised all my thoughts of death
I want to block out what was really said

I'm leaving you for solitude
I left myself so long ago
I'm leaving you for solitude
A place so rare and beautiful

All I am taking are some blank empty pages
Some magazines & memories
No watches and no jewelery
The days that I once craved
Left me staggered and left me dazed
Stretched my fears over ageing skin
Helps the denial to begin
I'm leaving you for solitude
I left myself so long ago
I'm leaving you for solitude
A place so rare and beautiful
