Lately I feel just like a stone that's sinking deep The rope is wrapped around my ankle and I can't break free So I'll watch the birds circle on the breeze They disappear as the ocean swallows me This ship is wrecked and I have got to find some land A little island where I'll make a bed out of the sand And I'll quiet the voices in my head While I watch the sun paint the horizon red Nightmares are dancing to the rhythm of the waves A vibrant melon sky has suddenly turned gray I heard the wind it whispered to me yesterday The message floated on the beach and out into the bay It said we live together but we die alone The years fly by but the weeks and the days are slow Cause I'm stuck in paradise, but I'm beginning to think twice Cause it's feeling less like home so I'll wade on the shore Until I sink to the ocean floor I think I've found a way to finally break free Untie the stones around my bones pulling me towards the deep So I'll sit and I'll wait for a tidal wave To pull me out to sea so I can drift away
