Isolation And Seclusion

Life of isolation, seclusion
Inside counting the walls
Plotting a dramatic escape
That'll never happen

Thinking about you and me
All that came to pass and never happened
Wishing you would've put me out
Of my miserable misery

Light from a crack strikes
Blinded beyond repair
Mistake me for a ghost
Pale and silent in this tomb

Air thick with dust and shame
Choking the little life I had left
Straight out of me, and then
Straight to you

Don't try to call me
Ripped the cord from the wall
Along with all the photographs
Of dumb, pointless memories

Wrinkles start to form
On what I was and am
Disgrace to you, common for me
In this padded cell

Caving in all around me
Inescapable because there's no way out
Locked up tight, air tight in fact
Set myself up for it

Hole appears in the corner, where I slept
To the outside, to death
Run away into my head
Last place to hold the fort

You arrive to bombard me
With lies of forgiveness
Who do you think I am?
What do you want me to say?

I live the life of a negative
Banished, an alienator to sound
And visions of an average sap
Making their way through the battlefield

Leave me to my isolation, seclusion
Inside counting down to the end
Plotting a dramatic finish
That'll never happen
