I Am An Island

I am an island, no man is an island but me

I reach out my leaves, and skillfully touch them to sea

I ship out a boat made of hope on the waves and watch as it slips below

I am an island, a island that nobody knows

I am an island, no man is an island but I'm not a man

I was raised by an ocean of creatures and brands

I give what I can of, the fruits and flowers that bloom on my skin

But when loneliness knocks, she lets herself in

Islands don't sink, the water just rises around us

Just think, someone out there is watching the stars

But they're not the same as ours, some say they're already dead,

And the light's only on in your head.

I am an island, no man is an island but me,

I warm all my sands by the pyre of my family tree

I took to the tundra, I climb every mountain and fight every monster I can

To run from that long burning fire, my friend

I am an island, no man is an island but I'm not a man

And messages in bottles feel like battering rams

In my head I'm a beacon, a pinprick of potential

Birthed out of nothing but blue

And the light that I signal, it's shining for you

Islands of love, we just want somebody to touch us

Just 'cause we are distant doesn't mean we are lost

We are where we are, and whenever a visitor docks

And is stranded, it means we are not

You and I have something in common, I will try to share my island

You and I are sinking in tandem, miles apart in every direction

You and I are treading this current, both of us are doomed for certain

You and I are our own now, maybe we'll wash up on solid ground

You and I are islands

Islands of fate, lately I feel the tides shifting

They're bringing us closer together to stay

The waters are rippling, a new world is taking it's shape

And tonight, our pangaea awaits
