## Lyrics
[verse]
Winter settles heavy on the windowpane
I've built these walls to keep away the pain
Books stacked around me like an armored wall
I don't need a friend to answer any call

[chorus]
I am a rock, I am an island too
I won't let the hurt come breaking through
Friendship only leads to loss and rust
I'd rather keep my faith in silent trust

[verse]
Don't talk to me about the warmth of love
I've heard that story, seen it fall apart
Stone don't ache and shorelines don't complain
Nothing out here has to carry any strain

[chorus]
I am a rock, I am an island too
I won't let the hurt come breaking through
Friendship only leads to loss and rust
I'd rather keep my faith in silent trust

[bridge]
Hiding in my room behind a locked front door
Safer than the world has been before
If I never reach, I'll never have to fall
Better keep the armor, better keep the wall

[chorus]
I am a rock, I am an island too
I won't let the hurt come breaking through
Friendship only leads to loss and rust
I'd rather keep my faith in silent trust
