When it hurts to be out there
Where no one will care
I've got the solace of you

Frustrated by people's lying
But I keep on trying
I've got the solace of you

When I can't think straight
And there's no escape
I've got the solace of you

Gotta go inside back where it started
Back to the beginning 
'Cause that's where my heart is

They can hurt me, jail my body
I'll still be free
I've got the solace of you

They can take my land
Tell me I'm not who I am
I've got the solace of you

A wise man said to know thyself
'Cause in the end there's no one else
Just the solace of you

Gotta go inside back where it started
Back to the beginning
'Cause that's where my heart is

Gotta go inside
Back to the beginning
