Solace in the Dark

When I can look no longer in your eyes,
I’ll find solace in the dark
where I’ll hide away from all my lies.
When I can look no longer in your eyes,
when mirrored in them is what you despise,
I’ll hide away, forever cold and stark.
When I can look no longer in your eyes,
I’ll find solace in the dark.
