Island

Seemed like it always rained no matter where we'd be

To this day it remains a constant part of our anatomy

Dives turned to diamonds while we planted our seeds

The garden grew around us when they found us as a beautiful machine

All that we loved went into hiding

All this hiding tore us apart

Our machine and all its beauty became a ghost to us all

Fight through the minutes, through the hours, all the days to cry out

This has grown way beyond me

You can't be seen among the living until you cry out

This has grown way beyond me now

Torn by confusion, fueled by nonsense

Step from the mountain, from its shade, no regrets left to be paid

There's violent blood on my shirt, glory in my head

I was staggering in patience wondering why I said

These are the miles, heavy and blue

These are the places we stare into

We went to give into the throws of the city, to the folds of the fields

So much noise

Walking upright from the mountain

Straight into a golden hum

The smiles that worked against you

Shimmer, then are gone

Shake off all the heavy noise (just let it go away)

Time to clean out what you carry (and let the song you say)

Bury the sorrow and suffering (just let it go away)

And what we used to be

Drag your tongue across these bricks then bleed into the mortar

Make it yours again

Wicked doubt it does possess; it is a vine persistent

Make it yours again

Knowing all the triggers, beautiful in its tragedy

Tripping from the memories of this beautiful machine

In soft rain with songbirds she answers, I am yours

Island, alone is crushing

Dry is killing. Island

Once was nothing now as always

I am waiting

This has grown so way beyond me now

To me you are an island

A line where the sky meets the sea

We can turn away or go there

Hey island on horizon, your shores will never be far

We can turn away or go there

Fill my eyes with your yesterdays and beyond

I'm lost without her voice to shine and save me from those rainy days

This hurts to say, these are the last days that she'll save

She is the love that holds it all

She is the way

She is love
