Lyrics
Isolation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Mother, I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
But if you could just see the beauty
These things, I could never describe
These pleasures a wayward distraction
This is my one lucky prize
Isolation
