Island of Lost Souls

I welcome the waves of diversion
I savor the sand in my eyes
I treasure my total immersion
Neck-deep in an ocean of white lies

On the island of lost souls
Illusion takes control
Till it’s got such strong hold
That I see you right here beside me

Lately the one voice I’m hearing
Is the one that you carved in my mind
I’m victim to truth disappearing
As much as the culprit of the crime

Don’t make me fear a final farewell
Don’t make hear a deafening death knell
Don’t make me near a rose-tinted hell
Please just stay right here beside me

The day’s in the last throes of dying
The sun barely had time to glow
You’re already busy goodbye-ing
You’re not even finished with hello
