Down by Law - So Solo Lyrics

I stand like a rock
When the lights go down and the crowd is there.
For just a little time,
Togetherness, music and a rhyme.

But then I'm alone again,
The melancholy walks and talks.
Yesterday I saw myself,
And in a dream I lost myself.

So solo.
Rebellion,

I fight against myself, my fears are on the shelf.
Wrap 'em up, push 'em away, but still they stay.

And yes I'm tough,
But can I be tough as I need to be?
I break like a rock
When the heartache comes and the thoughts go mad.
For just a little time,
I'm guilty of a nightlight crime,

And by that light I see it too.
Adrift and broken, torn in two.

So solo.
Rebellion,

So solo.
Rebellion,

I fight against myself,
My fears are on the shelf.
Tell myself they're put away, but still they stay.
