Solitaire Lyrics

I hurt myself again today, feelin' a little numb I could use the pain. I always find myself in this little bind. It's been a few weeks since you've been around, so here I sit with my hands strapped down patiently awaiting our secret games we used to play alone. So here I sit all tied up, all alone with all my thoughts I do not mind if this goes on. I think about about what I'll say to you when you finally decide to come my way, I'm sitting around all painted like a fool.I don't know how I got this way, and I don't know how much more I wanna take. But I know you'll shoot me down and bury me before I get too high. So here I sit all tied up all alone with my thoughtswhen will I learn to walk away from the things I do that make me feel the way, I feel when I'm with you? Tonight it's me, myself and I All this pain I seem to put myself through, all the ways I find to submit to you, cat o' nine tails gettin' old. And I don't know how I got this way I don't know how much more I wanna take. I got a millon ways to tame Myself and a million nights to try. When will you come around to do the things you do to me I hate this game of solitaire.

I LOVE this song. You should of heard it here in Sydney, Australia at a free gig they did for Youthfest (in Youthweek). They were SO good. And this song fucking went off. I was in the mosh at the time, and it was the most hectic mosh-pit I have ever been in in my whole life. I was so scared lol but THIS SONG WAS SO AWSOME!

the songs about heroin addiction! "i always find myself in this little bind" the turniquet. "hands strapped down" fighting to stay away from it. "here i sit all tied up" the turniquet again, "all alone w/ all my thoughts" using drugs is usually done alone. "shoot me down before i get to high" the addiction will get him before he makes too much progress quitting. the song is a metaphor for struggling with heroin (jim cherry was addicted to it). trying to stay clean and giving in to addiction.
