soliloquy - emily jeanne brown lyrics

[verse 1]
the stage betrayed me
it told me i would find what i was looking for
in the dark wings of dance halls
in the echoes of the overcrowded rooms
i gave up all too soon, i
studied their faces
i told myself that everything existed in a song
in the melodies i’d practice to try and get back to the way it was
when i was young

[chorus]
oh, you can see it there as it glances down the stair
the soliloquy of being in a most peculiar way
it calls to you
whether or not you want it to

[verse 2]
down in a desk drawer
buried under binders and cards kept tucked away
lay some words i once had spoken
repeated ’til i knew them all by heart
back then i played my part
today the drawer was open
and all i see are scr*ps of paper blackened with some ink
but these words have lost their meaning
if i cannot find the poetry, what good are they to me?
[chorus]
oh, you can see it there as it glances down the stair
the soliloquy of being in a most peculiar way
it calls to you
whether or not you want it to

[verse 3]
sitting in the darkness
staring at the shadows and the colors on my wall
i am comforted by evening
the rumble of a nearby passing train
the quiet sound of rain, wetness on my face now
tears come flowing out like healing balms of gilead
and the emptiness inside me is
big enough to hold the world while i lie still in bed

[chorus]
oh, you can see it there as it glances down the stair
the soliloquy of being in a most peculiar way
it calls to you
whether or not you want it to
