We Love the Underground
"The Isolationist"

Hold yourself to the fire -
'Til they cannot burn you;
Taste the flames;
You're the only one -
Who has heart to;
Now they're gone and you're stronger than -
You ever thought you were;
Alone is a better place;
When you finally learn that -
It's always been this way;

Spent my whole searching for the answers;
T' why I am this way;
Why does it seem that what I'm after -
Has hidden itself from me?
As all these melodies;
Keep rainin' down;
I'm drownin' in my dreams;
No choice;
But to sing my song;
T' scream it out;
'Til they hear it endlessly

Hold yourself to the fire;
Until they cannot burn you -
Taste the flame;
You're the only one;
Who has heart to;
Now they're gone and you're stronger than -
You ever thought you were;
Alone is a better place;
When you've finally learn that -
It's always been this way -

Lookin' back, so blinded -
Caught up in the scene;
A cinematic state of mind;
While the curtain closed on me-
So, cut the scene!
I cross my heart;
I swore I'd never sell our love for memories;
No choice but to the price;
And scream it out;
'Til you'll hear it endlessly -

Hold yourself to the fire;
Until they cannot burn you -
Taste the flame;
You're the only one;
Who has heart to;
Now they're gone and you're stronger than -
You ever thought you were;
Alone is a better place;
When you've finally learn that -
It's always been this way -

Tied up and shackled;
Like a hostage in my mind;
Another war that I cannot fight;
Another love and another time;
In the cold!
Lost in the desert for so long-
My heart's a stone;
Overtime my tears have turned t' dust;
I guess, I'm better off alone -

Hold yourself to the fire;
Until they cannot burn you -
Taste the flame;
You're the only one;
Who has heart to;
Now they're gone and your stronger than -
You ever thought you were;
Alone is a better place;
When you've finally learn that -
It's always been this way;
And who am I t' say -
You were better off livin' your life off stage?

We all want something;
We all want something;
We all want something;
We know we'll never find -

I said, I'd scream until I died;
Watch the waves til' I cried;
When all I wanted was a reason;
Just t' leave these dreams behind;
With all the confusion I've created;
For the sake of passin' time;
I hid inside this world you hated;
And built a wall no one could climb;
Now you're lost in my intentions;
Lookin' for the one you loved -
But he's gone out with the ocean;
And you knew you should have known -

We all want something;
We all want something;
We know we'll never find -

There are voices that we carry;
Who aren't for sale at any price;
Just messengers who came -
To start a fire in our lives;
So I'll sing until there's not another voice -
Left t' be heard;
And if you have t' leave, my dear;
At least you'll know for what it's worth -
That I slowly gave my love t' something;
Deep inside me -
Now I'm all alone and that's exactly where I'm supposed t' be -

We all want something;
We all want something;
We know we're never find -
We all want something;
We all want something;
We know we're never find -
