Island (demo) Songtext
von Coheed and Cambria

I′m just a big dud, foolish from the start

I make a wrong move, and the world just falls apart
And there's no cure for this disease I′m making up
So it's a farce
I live inside this, head and I'm at war

Hero and villain, same time keeping score
And I′m not sure what I′m to do, inside these walls
Not anymore
With my own life

Get of the Island and swim back to shore

Girl, I don't think I could last even one second longer
′Cause in these waters I'm done for
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all

When the fee is too big, our apartment′s too small
Where's my life-saver when I′m screaming danger
I'm screaming danger

Get off the Island and swim back to shore

I'm just a victim, of unfortunate circumstance


And this was my choice, oh shit, well I′ll be damned
And I got to stop dwelling on what I could have had
Oh the times I could have, oh I just want to
Get of the Island and swim back to shore

Girl, I don′t think I could last even one second longer
Cause in these waters I'm done for
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all

When the fee is too big, our apartment′s too small
Where's my life-saver when I′m screaming danger
I just can't stay here any longer, help

I just can′t stay here any longer, help
I just can't
(Get off the Island...)

And maybe, one day


From your sand I'll float away
And never see you again
Island
Get off the, get off the Island and swim back to shore
Girl, I don′t think I could last even one second longer
Cause in these waters I′m done for
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small
Where′s my life-saver when I'm screaming danger
Where′s my life-saver when I'm screaming danger
Where′s my life-saver when I'm screaming danger
I'm screaming danger
Screaming danger
Screaming danger
(Get off the Island...)
