Isolation
Psychophile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With pictures she can't want in her head
As she counts all the tears she's cried over you
And slept alone, her intentions unsaid
In all the ways she's tried to change
But all the time, she's on her own
Can't help to, feeling so alone
This room is filled with people that she knows
And she's falling while her eyes watch them move
And the rhythm of her pain grows faster now
She forgets what she's trying to prove
And the cold wraps its arms around her now
She shivers the way she did with you
And all this illusion fades to nothing now
This isolation's all that's true
