Closer (feat. Softspoken)

Isolationist

Alive Again

This was another song I wrote during those same emotionally turbulent high school years in the mid-1980s. If "Breakin' My Heart" was about the immediate shock of betrayal, "Shattered Illusions" dug deeper into the aftermath - that hollow feeling when you realize everything you believed about someone was built on lies.

The opening line "Midnight shadows, a phone that won't ring" perfectly captured those sleepless nights, waiting for someone who was never going to call. I remember writing that verse thinking about how naive I'd been, how I'd "built castles on empty words." The metaphor felt so real to me then - all those promises and dreams just crumbling down.

What I'm proud of in this song is the pre-chorus structure. Adding that extra emotional build before hitting the chorus made the impact stronger. "Shattering my world" felt like the perfect phrase to describe how completely someone could destroy your sense of reality when you're seventeen and think you know everything about love.

The bridge represents growth - moving from victim to survivor. "I'm done with your lies, done with the pain" shows that progression from hurt to empowerment that I was learning to navigate as a teenager. The outro ties it all together with "Your love was fiction, but I'll rise from this fall" - probably the most mature line I wrote at that age.

Like my other lyrics from that time, this sat dormant for decades until AI technology gave me the opportunity to finally hear these words with music. There's something magical about bringing teenage angst full circle with today's creative tools. The song now has that dramatic, emotional sound that matches the intensity I felt when I first wrote these words.

Shattered Illusions

[Verse 1]
You stumble forward, blinded in the dark,
Every step you take, I’m tearing it apart.
You thought you had a chance, but you’re already caught,
Your heartbeat tells me everything you’re not.

You run for cover, but the finish is near,
I’m right behind you, feeding on your fear.
Your heroes fell, your idols lied—
And you’ll be the next to learn how it feels to die.

[Chorus]
Face the nightmare, nowhere left to run,
Closer, closer—your time is done.
The game is over, you’ve lost the fight,
Your soul is mine when I take the light.

[Verse 2]
Your struggle’s weak, it’s laughable at best,
One slip, one fall—I'll do the rest.
Your wings are broken, your dreams all bled,
You’ll only be a memory when you’re dead.

Your armor crumbles, nothing left but dust,
The flames of your empire reduced to rust.
You swore you’d rise, but you’ll only fall,
You are nothing—I consume it all.

[Chorus]
Face the nightmare, nowhere left to run,
Closer, closer—your time is done.
The game is over, you’ve lost the fight,
Your soul is mine when I take the light.

[Bridge]
You strike, you fall, you lose again,
Every move you make still plays to my hand.
Your weakness carved into your fate,
And I’ll laugh when your ego breaks too late.

[Final Chorus]
Face the nightmare, nowhere left to run,
Closer, closer—your time is done.
The game is over, you’ve lost the fight,
Your soul is mine when I take the light.

[Outro]
Ready or not—here I come.
Every life you had is gone.
Ready or not—here I come.
Fall—your soul is mine.

► Lyrics
If sleep is for the weak, you know where I’ll be
Tangled in my head, replaying memories
Close my eyes and pray for some kind of clarity 
I dream in black and white but you’re still all that I see
I can feel it in my bones when I see your face
It’s the cruelest kind of dream driving me insane
If sleep is for the weak, you know where I’ll be

There is nothing that takes the pain away
Just darkness that covers everything
I’m losing my grip on reality 
And you never loved me anyway
I cannot live here in yesterday

If rest is for the dead, you know where I’ll be
Six feet in the dirt, right where you want me
If sleep is for the weak, you know where I’ll be

There is nothing that takes the pain away
Just darkness that covers everything
I’m losing my grip on reality 
And you never loved me anyway
I cannot live here in yesterday

I see you in my sleep but you always leave
I need you gone for good, take the pain away
I see you in my sleep but you always leave
I need you gone for good, take the pain away

If sleep is for the weak
You know where I’ll be
Take the pain away

There is nothing that takes the pain away
Just darkness that covers everything
I’m losing my grip on reality 
And you never loved me anyway

I cannot live here in yesterday
Cause you love to see my suffering
There is nothing that takes the pain away
Take the pain away
