Lyrics for Isolation

I can't move, I can't feel my body I don't remember anything What place is this? How did I get here? I don't understand, what's happening... Am I alone? You've been deserted, everyone has left you You know it's always been that way Those frantic years, the people you've neglected Now the time has come to pay You're alone... No one here is dancing to your tune Is this a dream or is it real? Sometimes the dream becomes reality! But I don't know what to feel Then I will guide you through this haze! But who are you? Why are you here? I am you and you are all of us I can't think, my mind ain't clear Then I will free you from this maze Can't you feel it burn deep down inside? Won't you ever learn? Don't try to hide! Can't you feel that fire scorching you soul? A wounded man's desire out of control! I can't believe you're giving up! That's not your way! I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay! You always had complete control, never thinking twice You always called the shots: a heart as cold as ice You are delusions of my mind And so we are, we're all a part of you Am I a part of some design? The one design is in your head How can it be you look so real? We are as real as you imagine us I can touch you, I can feel... Then take my hand and follow me Can't you feel it burn, deep down inside? Won't you ever learn? Don't try to hide! Can't you feel that fire scorching you soul? A wounded man's desire out of control! I can't believe you're giving up! That's not your way! I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay! You always had complete control, never thinking twice You always called the shots: a heart as cold as ice Close your eyes, listen to your heart beat Surrender to its soothing pulse Silence the cries, gentle and carefree Good or bad, true or false... You're not alone You'll find me here whenever they oppose you I am the strongest of them all No need to fear these feelings that enclose you I'm here to catch you when you fall You're not alone I am here dancing to your tune Can't you feel it burn deep down inside? Won't you ever learn? Don't try to hide! Can't you feel that fire scorching you soul? A wounded man's desire out of control! I can't believe you're giving up! That's not your way! I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay! You always had complete control, never thinking twice You always called the shots; a heart as cold as ice
