"Solitaire / Unraveling" lyrics

[Part one: "Solitaire"]

Locked away in a cage
My rage has got the best of me
Time finds a way each day
Of leaving less of me behind
I find this fight must be won
Inside my mind
So uptight and confined
Often blinded by the light

Taking its toll on my system
Like some played-out existence!

Time ticks away these last few moments
Is there anything we've left unsaid?
I'm on a quest for atonement
I've got to find peace of mind
And a place to rest

Biding my time
Until I'm strong enough
To fight back

(Hope)

I hope against hope for some resistance
(Locked away in a cage
My rage has got the best of me
Time finds a way each day
Of leaving less of me behind)

Been taking it out on my system!
(I find this fight must be won
Inside my mind
So uptight and confined
Often blinded by the light)

Time ticks away these last few moments
Is there anything we've left unsaid?
I'm on a quest for atonement
I've got to find peace of mind
And a place to rest

Time ticks away these last few moments
Is there anything we've left unsaid?
I'm on a quest for atonement
I've got to find peace of mind
And a place to rest

[Part two: "Unraveling"]

Rest! Rest!
Rest! Rest!

There's a calm before the storm
And the Western front is quiet
I've got Rembrandt as my right hand
Solo as my pilot

There's a calm before the storm
And the Western front is quiet
I've got Rembrandt as my right hand
Solo as my pilot

Condemned man (Condemned!)
Convicted man (Convicted!)
Could not save my life, cutting strand by strand (Strand by strand)

Condemned man (Condemned!)
Convicted man (Convicted!)
Could not save my life, cutting strand by strand (Strand by strand)

Passing it off
Like some kind of king
You don't know peace
'Til you've had suffering (I've suffered!)

All of this so-called resolve but you haven't tasted pain
Have you ever been inside of the new masterpiece?

(Rest!)
Have you ever been inside?
(Rembrandt as my right hand, Solo as my pilot)
Have you ever been inside the new masterpiece? (What I've got)
(Rembrandt as my right hand, Solo as my pilot)

Condemned man (Condemned!)
Convicted man (Convicted!)
Could not save my life, cutting strand by strand (Strand by strand)

Condemned man (Condemned!)
Convicted man (Convicted!)
Could not save my life, cutting strand by strand (Strand by strand)

Strand by strand, by strand, by strand, by strand
By strand, by strand, by strand, by strand, by strand!
(Condemned!)
Circumspect [?]
(Condemned!)

Strand by strand
