Make me a man
A better man
Not one who lives at the end of a blade
Come on to me
Teach me to be
Someone who knows the rules of this game
Cause I cannot tell 
Exactly what is real
But I know damn well that I'm the one to blame

Some took their lives and some had it taken
Some never knew the mistakes they were making
Their happier there than they ever were here
They don't feel the pain and they don't have the fear

Found my resolve
Cushioned and soft
No longer wanting to bleed
Disecting my past
Gathering my mind's trash
Cause it's about time to eat
Rambling on 
To the other's thought
But once again I know just what I need

I can see them all there, waving hello
"How have you been?" and "Where did the time go?"
They're combing the beaches of this paradise 
You can visit them too, if you just close your eyes



Island Song

Follow me down to the edge of town
The bottle's there
We'll watch the atmosphere
Brush off the sand, give me your hand
We'll be alright
We'll run away tonight

Release the tether
We'll brave the weather
The way we're going this might take forever
The waves that roll in 
They make me shiver
We'll make our great escape to the sound of the river

We'll sell our clothes
We'll build a home out of the trees
Seventy-five degrees
Under the stars we'll make our bed
I don't see sheep
Just you dancing round my head

Release the tether
We'll brave the weather
The way we're going this might take forever
The waves that roll in 
They make me shiver
We'll make our great escape to the sound of the river

Scared to feel
Scared of change
Scared that everything will stay the same
Keep our eyes 
Closed for days 
Our backs turn cold as our body's lay
The river's wild
Where does it flow?
How can you fear what you don't know?
North or south
East or west
Or anywhere you wanna go

Release the tether
We'll brave the weather
The way we're going this might take forever
The waves that roll in 
They make me shiver
We'll make our great escape to the sound of the river
