Isolation
So It Begins Lyrics

I could hear their desperate cries
I could perceive the distress in their pleas

As the desolation rained from the skies
As the utter emptiness and devastation engulfed everything

Disappearing before my eyes
Vanishing right in front of me

They were gone with no chance to say goodbye
They departed without the opportunity to bid farewell

All that's left is an empty shell
Only a hollow and vacant remnant remains

As I gazed through the eyelids of my hollow cell
While I peered through the closed lids of my empty prison

Will this nightmare become my hell?
Could this dreadful ordeal transform into my eternal torment?

With the way things are going only time will tell
Only the passing of time will reveal how this situation unfolds

'Cause I'm way past burning bridges
Because I have already destroyed all connections

I leave them decimated
I leave them utterly devastated and ruined

In the midst of family and friends I feel most isolated
Despite being surrounded by loved ones, I feel the most alone

Alone at the end, despite the crowd
Isolated even when surrounded by many people

The solace of silence, the only thing
Finding comfort and peace in the absence of sound

That drowns these voices out
That silences and overwhelms these tormenting voices

"Your life's a mistake
You exist as an error

You're a burden, no one wants to share your pain
You are a weight, and no one wants to bear witness to your suffering

Just lock it away
Simply suppress it and keep it hidden

Run and hide from your disgrace"
Flee and conceal your shame

No one needs to know your name
No one requires knowledge of your identity

Just take a look at yourself when you've got no one else
Examine yourself in the absence of any other support

You'll be the only one to blame
You will be solely responsible for the negative outcomes

I see clearly
I have a profound understanding

The answer seems to lie in isolation
It appears that the solution can be found in seclusion

But I need you to hear me
However, I require you to listen to me

You're not the first to feel this devastation
You are not the initial person to experience this overwhelming destruction

Fortify, push away
Strengthen yourself, keep others at bay

You're throwing up these walls to make you feel safe
You are constructing barriers to create a sense of security

Tear them down, break away
Dismantle those defenses, free yourself

Relinquish all these thoughts, you will be okay
Let go of all these notions, and you will be fine

Let in those who want to help
Allow those who genuinely wish to assist you

I know sometimes it feels like you're a waste
I understand that sometimes you feel insignificant

So undeserving
So completely lacking in merit

But no matter how low you get
Nevertheless, regardless of how miserable you become

You're never past the point of saving
You are never beyond the possibility of redemption

You're worth saving
You possess value and deserve to be rescued
