No Consolation lyrics

Salutations from a southern town.

I've got tales from the dark side in me down.

And in the back of my head, there's a three-act play,

but I don't mind what the voices say.

You were, you were

everything you said you'd never be.

I make good time to a place all mine.

I was lucky I remembered, 

but that's no consolation.

It's no consolation

Now the Earth is angry and the sky is blue

and there's so much more I wanna blame on you,

like how you can't go the distance in a foreign car

and what you wish was for real will take you only so far.

Don't speak freely,

you might have to hear what you're saying.

I can do my time in a place all mine

where it's lovely to remember,

but that's no consolation.

It's no consolation.

No consolation.

It's no consolation.
