Isolation

I- Into the night I slowly drift
S- Singing myself into a slumber
O-Oh how cold and numb, my whole body tingles
L-Leaving shivers down my spine, realization hits and
A-Alters my entire reality, that I must walk this path alone.
T-Trusting people have gotten me nowhere so unfortunately
I-I must be forever alone, confined in solitary eternally
O-Or maybe just til the darkness of the abyss gobbles me up
N-No longer feeling the pain of being alone.
