Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In fear everyday, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love
[Verse 2]
Surrender to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else
[Verse 3]
Isolation, isolation, isolation
[Verse 4]
Mother I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
[Verse 5]
Isolation, isolation, isolation
[Verse 6]
But if you could just see the beauty
Of these things I could never describe
These pleasures and wayward distractions
This is my one lucky prize
[Verse 7]
Isolation, isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Written by: Bernard Sumner, Ian Curtis, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris
