Lyrics

Tie my hands tight behind my back
I might get free
Say a few words, put my head in a sack
And launch me into the sea
I wonder how long before I sink without a song
The sun's in my back and I'm staring straight down
This is a mountain waiting to rise
This is a man face down in the drink
While every landmass tries to survive
I am an island trying to sink
Now I'm out here, caught in the current
And you're drifting toward me
And you're an island, face up and breathing
Like you're queen of the sea
I wonder how long before you rise and take your crown
I see you smile, take a breath, roll over and stare straight down
Take my hand and open your eyes
We've come at last right down to the brink
Now you're attached, I hope you realize
I am an island trying to sink
This is a mountain waiting to rise
This is a man face down in the drink
While every landmass tries to survive
I am an island trying to sink
Take my hand and open your eyes
We've come at last right down to the brink
Now you're attached, I hope you realize
I am an island trying to sink
