Mushroomhead
Solitaire/Unraveling
Part one : "Solitaire"

[Intro : J. Mann]
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

[Pre-Chorus : Jeffrey Nothing]
Taking its toll on my system

Like some played out existence !

[Chorus : J. Mann]
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

[Verse : Jeffrey Nothing, (J. Mann)]
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)

[Chorus : J. Mann] x2
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"

[Bridge part one : J. Mann] x2
Rest ! Rest !
[Bridge part two : J. Mann] x2
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

[Chorus : Jeffrey Nothing, (J. Mann)] x2
Condemned man (Condemned !)
Convicted man (Convicted !)
Could not save my life, cutting strand by strand (Strand by strand...)

[Bridge : Jeffrey Nothing (J. Mann)]
Passing it off
Like some kind of king
You don't know peace / 'Till you've had suffering (I've suffered !)

[Verse : Jeffrey Nothing (J. Mann)]
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)
[Chorus : Jeffrey Nothing (J. Mann)] x2
Condemned man (Condemned !)
Convicted man (Convicted !)
Could not save my life, cutting strand by strand (Strand by strand...)

[Outro : J. Mann, (Jeffrey Nothing)]
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...
