island

i turn, i smile - hello, goodbye, the world goes by in a dream, and i pretend i'm here in this skin, but i am gone - lost in the trees, on this island, this island, things go nowhere, nothing lives and nothing dies, on this island, this island, no future but the tide, rolling in and out of sight, i watch the waves, for days and days in this grief, i wonder how you got out, you just stepped out, where are you now?, you just stepped out, leaving me on this island, this island, things go nowhere, nothing lives and nothing dies, on this island, this island, no future but the rising tide, the way you cried out, the way you held me down, the way you'd melt right in my hands, the way you turned me round, the way you left me on my own, here alone, on this island, this island, things go nowhere, nothing lives and nothing dies, on this island, this island, oh i remember your face, less every day, i'm locked in this cage, lost here on this island, this island, no future but the tide, rolling in and out of sight
