Isolated

     This song kind of is a summary of how most of my time at Northeastern State felt.

Verse One -
Don't want to run, so I guess I'll walk
Don't want to see anyone, but I have to talk
What's going on? Somebody please tell me
Don't understand, it's all still a mystery
I'm so, so tired of looking inside
Seeing only darkness, always having to hide
Trying to pray, but finding I can't
Isolated, things are looking bad...

Verse Two -
Roaming the streets, out in the cold
Or in my cage, silence seems to enfold
Few more miles, maybe things will cease
One more step is too much for my faltering feet
I'm so, so tired of looking inside
Seeing only darkness, always having to hide
I want to pray, but finding I can't
I'm isolated, things are looking bad....

Verse Three -
So totally drained, no energy
Feeling a lack of community
Too many people around, need to leave and soon
Bashed over the head like a Bugs Bunny cartoon
I'm so, so tired of looking inside
Seeing only darkness, always having to hide
I'm trying to pray, but finding I can't
I'm isolated, things are looking bad...

Bridge -
This song, I know, is looking pretty despairing
Worst thing of life here is no one caring
I lie and say "I'm fine", guys, whenever I see you
But in reality this is what it really comes down to....

So, so tired of looking inside
Seeing darkness, always having to hide
Trying to pray but finding I can't,
I'm isolated, things are looking really bad.
