Island

from No Way Out by Dr. Nowt

/

lyrics

They say that no man is an island but I haven’t seen a soul for days.
I’ve been sitting here in silence, just staring at the horizon, waiting for someone to sail by and take me away,
Back to civilisation, far from the tide, high up on a hillside, where I can settle into a steady routine to repeat each fucking day, until I die,
And return to the earth with a new purpose to serve.
But here in Limbo, I’m doing fine.
I don’t need anybody and I don’t know what I’m doing and there’s not a lot to do, so to kill the time,
I sit in the shallows and wait for the waves to flood my lungs. Then I heave them up as they recede,
But the salt remains in my throat and I gasp and choke as I struggle to breath.
Now treading water, but running out of reasons to swim, one way or another, I will wash up when the tide comes in.
So far removed from my home, the stories start to unfold. But when I’m alone, then I know,
One day I’ll go back to the island.
