Islander Lyrics

Dead memories

Separating me from reality

As I stand upon the shore

A tide to bring me in

a land with no way out

Slowly

The rising current sets its grip on the truth

You're no longer within your flow

Displaced amidst the trees

That graze the sky

While you lie down below

A tide to bring me in

To a land with no way out

How can we feel so lost

Yet feel as we belong

I can't seem to figure out

If dreaming of our past is a nightmare

Time spent realizing the ocean we once loved

Was one that kept me at bay

Is this fantasy just a fallacy?

In hopes to protect mind from self

Cause I still have vivid recollections of the shore

With a view of what could lie ahead

But unable to reach any of them

I sit and I wait

And if the truth be told

Would it be loud and disruptive?

Would it be quiet yet divisive?

Would it leave me on my own on an island?

I find myself

Losing the truth

Like lines in sand

Fading into blue

Islander

Have you figured out your place?

Native born

You'll realize you've always been home

An all consuming thought

Separating me from reality

As I stand upon the shore

I breathe life into

Dead memories

I am the islander

A tide to bring me in

To a land with no way out

How can I feel so lost

Yet feel I belong
