Melancholy Island

Sittin' on melancholy island

Waiting for the tide to roll in

My bathing suit is polka-dotted

With the things that keep my grin away

I wear my shame like a sweater

Keep it on no matter the weather

It scratches at my skin

It ain't welcome but I let it in

I'll make a home in the sun

My skin fries like a wonton

My thoughts are getting grim

Don't forget lotion

Sittin' on melancholy island

Waiting for the tide to roll in

My bathing suit is polka-dotted

With the things that keep my grin away

I'm wasting all my days

How'd I so quickly fray?

I'm running from the truth

(It's no use)

But at night it's all illume

They make me toss and turn

All the lessons that I've learned

I look up at the swim

My chance is getting slim

Sittin' on melancholy island

Waiting for the tide to roll in

My bathing suit is polka-dotted

With the things that keep my grin away

Soaking up the sun is the opposite of fun to me

I'm forced to face the thoughts I don't like, and I wanna leave

Set sail on a raft that is wooden

So long to melancholy island

I've deserted my fears on the sand

In the fire that I used to tend
