lyrics

Hide away in a darkened shell
Alone I like my wounds clean
Come and save me from myself
All the while my torment hates me
If I called my own way out
I’ll be branded as a coward
This infliction is my weakness
Tearing holes that always wound me
In the madness and confusion
A lone voice can shatter sanity
Like broken glass on footprints
A burning mirror sees right trough me

Twenty years
Is a long time spent in isolation
Ten more can’t hurt
In isolation
I’ve cried myself to sleep
One thousand times in isolation
I’ll do my time
In isolation

I don’t know what the fuck
Has happened to me now
Brain corrupt with darkness
Heart is filled with hate now
Faded lines lead to my soul
Interfering with the endless
Constant motion of emotion
Powering the will to live now
Waning ever straining
Feel my birth being deleted
Hopelessness opening the floodgates
Surging ever screaming

Twenty years
Is a long time spent in isolation
Ten more can’t hurt
In isolation
I’ve cried myself to sleep
One thousand times in isolation
I’ll do my time
In isolation

Am I here? Or in another place and time?
Animalise my inner thoughts and cannibalise my mind
My mirror shatters in my ultimate despair
The voices so confusing, I’m pulling out my hair

Dead eyes stare back at me
Silence breaking noise
Prison for my emotions, a place for them to hide
In solitude I’ll find myself someone to call my own
The voices still confusing, just please leave me alone

Twenty years
Is a long time spent in isolation
Ten more can’t hurt
In isolation
I’ve cried myself to sleep
One thousand times in isolation
I’ll do my time
In isolation
