Failing Body 2k

I woke on an island, shed tears for my family You woke on an island with blood on your hands No judgment or hatred regarding appearance We shed our old clothes and we danced on the land We explored for the morning, I talked about futures We mourned over people we harmed in the past We stumbled on wreckage from my former vessel Lying in pieces splintered in the sand And this is just how you wanted it This is just how you wanted it This is just how you wanted it You grew weak on the island, collapsed in some flowers With a look in your eyes I had not seen before The look said "I've lived so sure of where I was going At the end I'm afraid I don't know any more" You apologized and those words hit like a bullet You said "I know we were different but I loved you regardless And all of the reasons that we battled each other Will be buried on the island - and they're not coming with us" And this is just how we wanted it Let's stay up late my brothers This is just how we wanted it Let's stay up late my sisters This is just how we wanted it You died on the island with me right beside you I built you a raft and pushed you from the shore I sent God a message - if they send back your body When they're done with your soul, I will tend to your form I built a new treehouse with wreckage from old ones My brothers and sisters awake in these walls Your body came back so I buried you with them My loved ones and enemies - all stripped of their labels And this is just how I wanted it Let's stay up late, my brothers This is just how I wanted it Let's stay up late, my sisters How many of you are there This is just how I wanted it How many of you were there This is just how I wanted it This is just how I wanted it This is just how I wanted it This is just how I wanted it This is just how I wanted it
