(I)In constant intro-/(2m)spection / (3_5_8858/4__6_~/)
(V7)To find purpose in their /(I)lives / (5_4_5455/3__~~/)
(3m)Cowering like a /(IV)poor dog / (7_5_7_5_/6__4_~/)
(V7)Beaten too many /(I)times / (5_4_5_44/5__~~/)
(3m)I want to end /(IV)it all / (7_5_7_5_/6__4_~/)

Intro: 4 bars (key of G)

Solitude is a ghost town
Of haunted nights and dreams
Of endless persecution
From my conscience judging me
Ranting like a madman
Unbridled in his rage
Like a captive audience
I'm locked in my own cage

Throw me a rope I’m drowning
Can you hear my SOS?
Can you give me my absolution
If I kneel down and confess
Throw me a rope I’m drowning
Can you hear my SOS?

Solitude is a ghost town
Of all that could have been
Of letters I filled with love
That I wrote but never sent
Brooding like a poet
Struggling with his soul
I lie here in my coffin
While dirt fills up the hole

Repeat Chorus

I grip the bars and I shake them
They rattle but barely budge
It’s my eternal damnation?
That it’s my own soul I judge

Interlude 8 bars

Solitude is a ghost town
Where tortured souls reside
In their constant introspection
To find purpose in their lives
Cowering like a dog
Beaten too many times
I want to end it all
But I’m too afraid to die

Repeat Chorus

Can you hear my SOS?
Can you hear my SOS?
