Surrounded and Alone

It starts when we're too young to know that we are capable
It ends when we're too old to realise what we've done
And all the while we are eroded
Our innocense exposed
We are physically closer but even still

There is never silence in this deafening isolation
Surrounded and alone, we no longer feel at home
We are screaming out for connection
It's a natural extension
Just reach out and touch me I'm right here

We wilfully sink in the hooks that tie us down to things we love
Before we realise that it's too late to go back
We should warn those who come after us
But we lead them on instead
Protecting our investments in our pain and our regret

There no silence in this deafening isolation
Surrounded and alone, we no longer feel at home
We are screaming out for connection
It's a natural extension
Just reach out and touch me I'm right here

Maybe I'm just abnormal
But I can't believe that I'm the only one
That feels painfully disconnected
I know so much about you but somehow I don't know you at all

There is never silence in this deafening isolation
Surrounded and alone, we no longer feel at home
We are screaming out for connection
It's a natural extension
Just reach out and touch me
Reach out and touch me
Reach out and touch me I'm right here
