Images of the Shipwreck Songtext
von Looper

It seems as if time had stopped moving
The hands of the clock on the walls stood still
And years went by
I walked through the empty rooms
Trying to never look at my watch
Minutes passed like hours
And years went by


And I sat in a chair by the window
Staring out at a never ending afternoon
Longing to be in another day
Any other day
From the future or from the past
My whole system had shut down
I was off grid and off line
Locked off and shut in
Stranded in a vast shore of a never ending day
I′d run aground, shipwrecked

And every time the night came
When the day was finally defeated
I'd leave the wet door open when I went to bed
And hope that a thief would slip in during the night
And steal all my troubles away while I slept

One morning when I had more strength than usual
I walked out by the river and picked a bunch of wildflowers
In a spot where I used to write my stories in my head
And I hoped that one day I could make something again
Something like the things I used to make
A song or a story
A story or a song
And it would carry me away from this island
And all the images of the shipwreck
