Lyrics
How could I do it again?
Sleeping it off as the room
starts to spin
Thrown back controlled by
desire
Frivolous, cautionless, my
body’s a liar
Repeating the hurt to no avail
Comfort that’s fleeting
Comfort that’s fleeting
Oh
Oh
Marooned in myself,
Marooned in myself
The walls start to close in
Late in the evening in the
heat I was dreaming
I wait for a knock at the door
A fatal wound of loneliness
bleeds out on the flood
Greeting a thirst that is pale
Muffled surroundings
I cannot live like this
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Marooned in myself
Myself an island
Marooned in myself
I need something real
Something I can feel
Walk out in the trees
Take some time to breath
Just a little time
Take some time with me
Just a little time
Oh
Marooned in myself
Oh
I’m trapped again
Marooned in myself, an island
I’m trapped again
Marooned in myself, an island
I’m trapped again
To the light we are drawn, not
an island no more
I remember you
I remember you
