The birds have fallen silent
I sit staring at my hands
The water flows around me
But doesn't cool the burning sands
Storm-tossed and broken
Washed up on the shore
I don't want to live on this island anymore
The day is slowly fading
Sunset rides the ocean swell
What was once a refuge
Has become a prison cell
How I came to be here
I'm no longer sure
But I don't want to live on this island anymore
I slip beneath the surface
Too defeated to go on
Nothing left but scattered pieces
When the tide has come and gone
The waves once gently rocked me
Now they leave me feeling raw
And I don't want to live on this island anymore
Storm-tossed and broken
Washed up on the shore
And I don't want to live on this island anymore
