"Ode To Solitude" lyrics - HIM

HIM
"Ode To Solitude"

Easy on the eyes, uneasy on the heart
Sew my wrists shut
Sew my wrists shut with hope
Straight into the light shining bright
I dare you to dream this
And I dare you to dream this gone
What I want to know is which makes you smile less

[Chorus:]
Here's to the pain
The light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains

Here's to the pain
As always, heaven in flames
Now bleeding
Ode to solitude in chains

Map the scars of a heart bruised and torn
Loosen the nose, love
Loosen the noose with love
What I want to know is why you keep me hanging

[Chorus:]
Here's to the pain
The light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains

Here's to the pain
As always, heaven in flames
Now bleeding
Ode to solitude in chains

[Bridge:]
If I should fail (and I will) to stay
Remember not to forget this feeling you have
(If I should fail to stay) I've failed
Please pretend it never happened, baby

[Chorus:]
Here's to the pain
The light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains

Here's to the pain
As always, heaven in flames
Now bleeding
Ode to solitude in chains

[Refrain:]
Here's to the pain
The light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in... chains

[Chorus:]
Here's to the pain
As always, heaven in flames
Now bleeding
Ode to solitude in chains

[Outro:]
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
