Solace in the Lie

from Into the Weeds by Tom Gavin

/

lyrics

You don't have to leave this town
to find a place apart
all around the names align
count them as they change their minds

no friends allowed
and leave your conscience well behind
climb aboard and say goodbye
promise on the way to write

well, you don't have to call in
or to know your reasons why
'cause there's solace in the lie
there's solace in the lie

you don't have to talk it out
to find a common ground
all the oldest faces lie
fashion doesn't reason why

all drunk and buying
something precious, something nice
sweet and soft to woo you right
only long enough to bite

well, you don't have to quarrel
if it's sung a bit too bright
'cause there's solace in the lie
there's solace in the lie

and I remember
the city broke your heart long ago
well now remember
the way you hoped to prove a fit it

you don't have to fall in love
to know what's on your mind
'cause there's solace in the lie
there's solace in the lie

maybe now
while the street's on fire down below
tell the children
the coast is calling
