Lyrics

I'm gonna write a book
Full of all the mistakes I have made
My personal Everest
Amidst a barren landscape
It's hard to put a title on
Such a decaying tomb
A lexicon of honesty
As you hunt through all these sun bleached bones
I'm just trying to let you in
I'm just trying to let you in
Through a decade of scars and a war torn heart
I can't
Let you in
I'm gonna dig a ditch
Fill it with my hopes and dreams
Top it off with gasoline
Light a match and start the eulogy
As I stare across this funeral pyre
Into an endless cloud of smoke
This feeling rushes over me
That these cinders now have become home
I'm just trying to let you in
I'm just trying to let you in
We're all islands
On an uncharted boundless map
As years fade down
I don't long for the coast
Don't complicate
Take two steps back
Just focus on breathing
Stop these knuckles from shaking
And in the end
When you draw your final breath
These dollars and cents
The shit you collect all just slowly turns to dirt
Don't complicate
Take two steps back
Just focus on breathing
Stop these knuckles from shaking
I'm just trying to let you in
We're all islands
I'm just trying to let you in
We're all islands
I'm just trying to let you in
We're all islands
As this fire smolders down to ashes I think
Was it worth my time dwelling on trivial things
Completely compulsive, immensely destructive
Now I know it won't amount to nothing at all
