Path to Isolation
Jeff Williams
[Intro: Casey Lee Williams]
It starts with the unexpected loss of something dear
The warmth that comforted and cradled just disappears
And in its place, there's nothing
Just an endless, empty hole
The light that showed the way is gone
And darkness takes control
Bitterness and anger
Are quick to fill the void
The path to isolation
Is littered with the dreams that lay destroyed

[Verse 1: Casey Lee Williams]
The cold
Seems to grow in my soul, it's consuming me
Confused
And I'm losing myself in the storm
Growing jaded
Being pushed, being pulled, I'm unraveling
Can't find myself when I'm constantly forced to conform
[Pre-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
Enemies surround me but the worst appear as friends
Liars and pretenders only seek to reach their ends
Everything is breaking
Right before my eyes
Looking in the mirror
I see someone that I don't recognize

[Verse 2: Casey Lee Williams]
The joy
That my heart used to know is eluding me
Removed
And the one thing I feel is alone
Smile's faded
And I'm spinning and sinking, I'm weakening
Frozen in solitude, loneliness chills to the bone

[Pre-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
Memories escaping as my heart begins to drain
Scars that cover wounds can't hide the self-inflicted pain
Everything my mind wants
In conflict with my heart
Fighting back surrender
But every day, I'm falling more apart

[Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
Mirror, what's this thing I see?
Who is staring back at me?
A stranger to my heart has filled my mind
Mirror, help me
Who am I?
