Lyrics
SOUL SURVIVOR
I don?t know why all I see here is water
I closed my eyes and I drifted away
Searchin? for an oasis in a sea of disorder
I don?t know how I?ll survive here alone... so isolated
Don?t know how long I can tread on my own
All that I need is someone I can trust
Searchin? for an oasis in a sea of indifference
I don?t know how I can find my way home... so alienated
CHORUS:
So you think you?re the Soul Survivor
Don?t you know you can?t fool yourself?
Until one day you finally realize
You?re the mastermind of your own demise...well
Nobodies an Island, Nobodies an Island, Nobodies an Island... so isolated
I don?t know why I?m so numb, cold and weary
Fighting the tide of mediocrity
Searchin? for a friend that won?t let me down
I don?t know how I could ever be free... so manipulated
CHORUS:
