Lyrics
Surrounded by my isolation
Feeling isolated and surrounded by it.
The need to act and grief from lack
Experiencing a need to take action and grief due to a lack of something.
I was sad to say I was Impatient

Wasted my days

I had withered away

(Wow I never felt happy)
Expressing a lack of happiness.
Succumbed to the numbness
Yielding to numbness, losing sensitivity.
I'd all but decayed
Almost completely deteriorated or decayed.
(It was the rain that had shaped me)
Attributing personal development to difficult experiences, possibly involving sadness.
But now I can't help but feel rusted

Happy to keep your head down

I promise

You don't seem it

Well you should see me

I was the problem I clung to

And ever since it came out you said you

Could see the clouds turn pink in August

I was every bit as nervous as you were
Feeling nervous in a situation similar to the other person.
No idea why I was freezing till it was too late

Lonely we are

Didn't know you saw me so bright

But to be honest might not make it through the night

If you could leave me the light on
