Drew Blackard - I Have An Island lyrics

I have an island a place I go to think Where the artificial stars help suspend my disbelief So I stick 'em up there one by one Make a constellation that reminds me of home And there's so many ways to fade across a sea Paddling a boat or swimming underneath Forget how to dream that's what she said Standin' on the corner of her soapbox ledge And they were so cinematic the words that she spoke They burned on the page right up into smoke But you can go anywhere when you're somebody else As the panic set in that's what I told myself There's so many ways to fade across a sea Paddling a boat or swimming underneath And I have an island under my feet lifting me up right before I sink There's little signs of life everywhere That's what he screamed waving his arms in the air And then he fell to his knees he ceased to breathe Someone called a doctor another called a priest But his aries heart it failed to start But people gathered round just to say they did their part And there's so many ways to fade across a sea Paddling a boat or swimming underneath And I have an island under my feet lifting me up right before I sink
