lyrics

Once I tried to find love but I drop the pretense
How do you look for hope knowing only absence?
And the bitterness is spinning
Swirling ice above my head
Crystallize into the figure lying next to mine in bed
And I wonder
Is this all there really is?

Once I tried to find love but then I got too scared
Finding the one for you is impossibly rare
So if impossible it is then why waste life hoarding despair?
Entertaining possibilities that were never even there
And I wonder
Is this all there really is?

Is this all there is for me?
Is this all there's gonna be?
I am sequestered
In my own right
In my own head
In my own life
In my own bed
On my own

Once I tried to find home, but it felt like a cell
I tried to sit still and smile but I ran like hell
So I will take myself outside
And diffuse into the sky
Never to be held by anyone
Unwise enough to try
So I promise
This is all there really is

Is this all there is for me?
Is this all there's gonna be?
I am sequestered
In my own right
In my own head
In my own life
In my own bed
On my own

Is this all there is for me?
Is this all there's gonna be?
Is this all there is for me?
Is this all there's gonna be?

Is this all there is for me?
Is this all there's gonna be?
I am sequestered
In my own right
In my own head
In my own life
In my own bed
On my own

And this love is affection
On my own tongue
In my own blood
In my own lungs
Taking control
Of my own
