Isolation

I could hear their desperate cries
As the desolation rained from the skies
Disappearing before my eyes
They were gone with no chance to say goodbye
All that's left is an empty shell
As I gazed through the eyelids of my hollow cell
Will this nightmare become my hell?
With the way things are going only time will tell
'Cause I'm way past burning bridges
I leave them decimated
In the midst of family and friends I feel most isolated

Alone at the end, despite the crowd
The solace of silence, the only thing
That drowns these voices out

"Your life's a mistake
You're a burden, no one wants to share your pain
Just lock it away
Run and hide from your disgrace"

No one needs to know your name
Just take a look at yourself when you've got no one else
You'll be the only one to blame
I see clearly
The answer seems to lie in isolation
But I need you to hear me
You're not the first to feel this devastation

Alone at the end, despite the crowd
Despite the crowd
The solace of silence, the only thing
That drowns these voices out

Fortify, push away
You're throwing up these walls to make you feel safe
Tear them down, break away
Relinquish all these thoughts, you will be okay
Let in those who want to help

I know sometimes it feels like you're a waste
So undeserving
But no matter how low you get
You're never past the point of saving
You're worth saving
