Isolation

[Verse 1]
The law of the material world
It goes like this:
Everything is temporary
All life
It comes into being
Stays for some time
Produces some by-products
Dwindles and vanishes

[Chorus]
What's the deal?
Why are we here?
Trapped inside this body
This body carries the soul
That's right, it's just a shell
So many think we are this body
But we're not
It's what we are inside that counts
Why are we proud?

[Post-Chorus]
Satisfaction internally
For the body eternally

[Verse 2]
Now I know why I cannot resist
In tune with nature's way
I walked a crooked path alone
I thought I could get there on my own
What am I to condone?
This body I don't even own

[Chorus]
What's the deal?
Why are we here?
Trapped inside this body
This body carries the soul
That's right, it's just a shell
So many think we are this body
But we're not
It's what we are inside that counts
Why are we... proud?

[Bridge]
People want to know your occupation
"Where'd you get your education?"
Don't wanna meet the soul within
Good looks and wealth: a necessity
You think it's love, but it's a smokescreen
When good looks fade
Divorce lawyers bring pain
Isolation

[Post-Bridge]
Help me realize
I cannot regret
If I don't fall victim
To sense attachment

[Chorus]
What's the deal?
Why are we here?
Trapped inside this body
This body carries the soul
That's right, it's just a shell
So many think we are this body
But we're not
It's what we are inside that counts
Why are we proud?
