Islands
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Island in the sea
Are so much like me
They don't ever change--no emotion, no emotion
Islands on the land
Dry like desert sand
Island in the city
All alone it's such a pity
CHORUS
It's just a masquerade
Just painted laces
When will it change
Never
Islands in the seas
What's come over me
We are both surrounded by the water--empty water
Give me mystery--and the fear it brings
Anything at all to break up the monotony
CHORUS
Islands in the sea
Forever . . . forever
