[Verse 1]
F   G                             F
 In fear every day, every evening,
   G
He calls her aloud from above,
F G                              F
  Carefully watched for a reason,
    G
Painstaking devotion and love,
F   G                             F
 Surrendered to self preservation,
     G                              F
From others who care for themselves.
  G                                 F
A blindness that touches perfection,
    G                             F
But hurts just like anything else.

[Chorus]
G F   G      F   G      F   G
   Isolation, isolation, isolation.

[Verse 2]
G                                F
Mother I tried please believe me,
    G
I'm doing the best that I can.
F     G                                          F
 I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through,
     G                         F
I'm ashamed of the person I am.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

F    G                                F
 But if you could just see the beauty,
      G                             F
These things I could never describe,
G                                     F
These pleasures a wayward distraction,
G                          F
This is my one lucky prize.
