Isolation
Time gnaws at aching doors
Shut door falls to the floor
Bed bends under Ben
Heart stops
Beats to the air
Fingers fiddle and foot flaps
Twitching eyes tear out sweat
Sunlight sinks in darkness deep
Heart stops
Beats to the air
Heart stops, beats to the air
Everyday endless ice-cold heat
Everyday entering eternity's gates
The sadness will last forever ...
