Isolation

(Brian Roessler)

This was the song that was the crash after the denial of how I felt (read: bender) after a major break up. sometimes you can only see the light when up is the only place left to look.

The times have changed and you have too
I couldn’t adjust, though I wanted too
Ignored what I felt, to suppress the pain
Killed all the love, and I drove you away (drove you away)

It’s ok to forgive, but never forget
There’s time for remorse, but never regret
We all stand alone, surrounded by friends
We search for beginnings, but we’re only finding ends
Only finding ends of isolation

It’s hard to cut through this fog inside my head
It’s hard to look over the walls around my bed
It keeps on getting harder, girl, to forget the things you’ve said
But I try to anyway it just might keep me through my days
Of isolation

The more that I took the less I could give
There was only so much that you could forgive
No I walk around empty in a blanket of night
You wake up alone after you have lost your light (after you’ve lost your light)

One more drink, and then I’ll be done
Just one more hit…’til the memory’s gone
I’ll grind myself down to the size of a grain
Then I’ll wake myself up and I’ll do it all again
It’s all in the name of isolation

It’s hard to cut through this fog inside my head
It’s hard to look over the walls around my bed
It keeps on getting harder, girl, to forget the things you’ve said
But I try to anyway it just might keep me through my days
Of isolation

It’s hard to cut through this fog inside my head
It’s hard to look over the walls around my bed
It keeps on getting harder, girl, to forget the things you’ve said
But I try to anyway it just might keep me through my days
Of isolation
