Song for Isabelle Lyrics

She paints in grey
She closes her eyes
'Till fireworks and palm trees almost look alike

    Isabelle is a real person. She was somebody I met on tour. She’s a really beautiful girl who’s a friend of ours and would hang out at our shows. The last time I saw her, she had become really depressed and told me she couldn’t understand why people treated each other the way they do. She just couldn’t handle that concept of people treating each other so badly all over the world. It tore her apart. I’ve never seen or heard of anything like this. She told me she wouldn’t be here in a year. She thought she would end her life because she couldn’t take what was going on out there. It blew my mind. Here was this pretty girl who seemed to be fine, but she had all of these internal struggles going on that she just couldn’t handle. For a year, I was wondering if she was okay. It was crazy. It consumed me for a while. I eventually found out that she was fine and she pulled through. Hopefully she found something or someone to show her the joy in life.
