There's a world outside but I can't really make it
There's a life to lead but I can't exactly fake it
Yet the mood feels right

But my island is sinking out of sight

I made jetties so they'd catch all the sediment

Removed the rocks and every impediment
But the tide's rising high to wash away my island in the night


The sheltering sky was to be my everlasting lullaby
They said that islands were solid as bedrock
Standing firm forevermore

But over time even ba!@&(t wastes away to the unrelenting shore

There's a lonely seed waiting to be planted

I've instructions but desire is wholly absent
I'm just a petrel in the storm
My island can't protect me anymore
