Inside out and upside down, all around me, left and right.
Push and pull. The wise. The fools. The sober, drunk and high.
Come here, go there. I’m everywhere but never have the time.
Overwhelming. Someone tell me why.
I’ll fade away against the horizon.
Wish you well, but I’m going home.
They all say no man’s an island.
Time will tell, now leave me alone.
No delight for weary eyes with all this on my mind.
Miles away but clear as day, my woes not far behind.
The future’s now and yet somehow the past still has control.
Can I escape before it takes its toll?
I’ll fade away against the horizon.
Wish you well, but I’m going home.
They all say no man’s an island.
Time will tell, now leave me alone.
Solace in this ethereal silence. Blissful oblivion.
Aimless, simple and trivial life.
Solace in this ethereal silence. Blissful oblivion.
Aimless, simple and trivial life.
Someday…
I’ll fade away against the horizon.
Wish you well, but I’m going home.
They all say no man’s an island.
Time will tell, now leave me alone.
