Island - Western Pacific

I’m desolate, but no one understands

I’ve got my friends, but alone I stand

In my tattered shoes, all worn and small

But I never seemed to grow out of them at all

In my island of defeat,

I know how to fail

Though the body is weak

The heart isn’t frail.

I just need to trust myself some more

I just need to let love make its warmth

I’m always dousing out the fires

That you ignite, I let rain pour.

Been feeling like the years build up a cage

Like every move I make can be my next mistake

And I’m sorry if I’m constantly afraid

But the truth is that I’m terrified of the choices that I’ve made

In my island of defeat,

I know how to fail

Though the body is weak

The heart isn’t frail.

I just need to trust myself some more

I just need to let love make its warmth

But I’m always dousing out the fires

That you ignite, I let rain pour.
