Joy Division - Isolation lyrics

In fear every day, every evening

He calls her aloud from above

Carefully watched for a reason

Painstaking devotion and love

Surrendered to self-preservation

From others who care for themselves

A blindness that touches perfection

But hurts just like anything else

Isolation

Isolation

Isolation

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

Isolation

Isolation

Isolation

But if you could just see the beauty

These things I could never describe

Pleasures and wayward distraction

This is my one lucky prize

Isolation

Isolation

Isolation

Isolation

Isolation
