| Lyrics |
| 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 -- 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 -- But if you could just see the beauty These things I could never describe These pleasures a wayward distraction Is this my one lucky prize? [or in the Still and H&S live versions: This is my one consolation This is my one lucky prize] Isolation -- |
