Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 starе straight down [Chorus] Take my hand and open your eyеs 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 [Flute Instrumental] [Chorus] 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
