ISOLATION

Hey, my friend, you’re looking fine
You have lived a life I wish were mine
They’d tell me
With smiles long in the tooth

For all I’ve done, I’ve done alone
Like sailing ships to ports unknown
Just maybe
I’ve come to learn the truth

Believing, achieving
Who am I deceiving?

Isolation can be the death of you
Isolation can turn you cold
Before your time is due
How ‘bout you?

I’ve spanned the globe companion-free
A solo act in a symphony
Lone witness
To every high and low

Convinced of love I might hold dear
Would hold me back or interfere
A selfish
And lonely way to go

Forsaken, mistaken
No hand was ever taken

Isolation can be the death of you
Isolation can turn you cold
Before your time is due
How ‘bout you?

For every treasure I might stumble on
There was an empty inner space
Zero-sum, I’d become an island
Merely passing the days
Feet-to-ground
I was bound to change my ways

Isolation can be the death of you
Isolation can turn you cold
Before your time is due

Isolation
With another path to try
Isolation
My smile is true
I’ll say to you, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye!
