swimming around
two fish in a barrel
no one there to pull me out
they leave me to die
how could they know
whoever could know me
tied to your tales of woe
my tale to your stone
two angels hanging out upon the ceiling
watching all the stories we must tell

of solace and serenity
solace and serenity
a silence so sad

the water drains out
the oxygen is killing me
and all things i ever loved
lost a drop at a time
the lazy days drown
drift into a perfect sleep
baking in that mean old sun
i wish i could dance

to solace and serenity
solace and serenity
a silence so sad
solace and serenity
i just wanna dance

this might make you laugh
i don't mean to amuse you
but i just have a simple view
of where it went wrong

solace and serenity
solace and serenity
i just wanna dance
