about
4th and final track in the Mermaid Tetralogy
lyrics
Soul in isolation
I can hear you breathing down the hall
Soul in isolation
I can hear you whisper through the walls
And if I had a mind to now
I could call to you
Or I could simply shut you out
No more, would I cry, cry, cry
I give you my time to kill
But you always, always break my will
Or I could sink a sleeping pill
And in the morning could be sleeping still
But most of you are much to ill
Oh, way beyond a surgeons skill
Her feminist hypocrisy
As she let’s him kiss her soft skin
In bondage to misogyny
Though she truly thinks she is free
Yet she keeps my arms at bay
And I’m the poetic romantic man of her dreams
Oh when you think of it, when you think of it
We're all souls in isolation
Alive in here, I'm alive in here
I'm alive in here
Oh, when you think of it, when you think of it
Come here
A word in your ear
A word in your ear
Back to the trees
Back to the trees
My big heart makes me feel small
Wish I had a way to be free from you all
I'd like to escape from reality death
When will it come?
When will it come?
Words that rattle round my head
Struck by lightning, someone said
A diamond bullet in my head
Right in the brain
Are you right in the brain?
Are they right in the brain?
Am I right in the brain?
Am I completely insane?
Will I see the jailers face?
Did my mother lead me to this place?
Will I live to see her face?
Will another come to take her place?
In total isolation
Surrounded by fears
Too many muses, throughout the years
I cannot touch, too many tears
Isolation
Surrounded by crowds
In another world, head in the clouds
I'm alive in here, I scream
But you still can't hear
I’m alive in here
But I feel deader than dead
I'm alive, turn on the light
Turn on the light
Are you afraid of what you’ll see?
The real me
Oh, when you think of it, when you think of it
We're all souls in isolation
Alive in here, I'm alive in here
I'm alive in here
Oh, when you think of it
When you think of it
We're all souls in isolation
We're always searching for something
Sweetest virgin now deflowered
Before my eyes
Now that I’ve seen the darkness in you
When will you forever be erased from my mind?
Dear, dear, dead days I'm longing for you
