don't speak – you'll break the atmosphere
unique as anybody here
let's steal away some time
enough to make you mine
some peak – but you're no mountaineer
too bleak for me to see from here
let's steal away some space
enough to make my case
you reek of ever-climbing fear
one week 'til we're in the clear
let's steal away somehow
before we take our bow

Just the Same as Always

the words you say
I've heard before
in a crowded place through an open door
and the tone you use is an act of war
you might be confused but I know the score
and I won't back down or sideways no I won't give up and hide
'cause I'm just the same as always and I can't let you decide

The Humble Fawn

once we would freely wander the wild find our own food or we'd die
why don't you give us a peek? sneak us a snack on the sly
here are my friends - don't be shy
oh my darling, oh my dear
can you believe it would come so near?
now we're on your lawn now we're in your face not the humble fawn rooted to its place

Who is the Baker?

who is the baker and who the roast? who feels it the most when it happens? who is the pauper and who the fool? who's on the mule when it happens?
gosh darn it, consarnit, you're on the loose! bad senses don't give me anything to use
who is the avalanche – who's a typhoon? who calls to the moon when it happens? who is the joker and who's a cliché? who's gonna pay when it happens?

Where I'm From
04:19

everything I see reminds me of me
the person that I was, the you I used to be
everyplace I go, I've been before
no energy to tour the same horizons
oh, where I'm from, I still come! oh, where I'm from, I'm still here!
the school on the hill, apartment windowsill above a pizza bar or a dry cleaners
remember what it was before they tore it down whatever it is now, I'll never say it

No Crime in Loving
03:04
|
|

|
no crime in loving
no sorrow in letting go
though we followed every warning and we heeded every call
no shame in grieving no misery in holding up
though we followed every warning and we heeded every call
no harm in feeling
no enemy in moving on
though we followed every warning and we heeded every call

what happens to us in the future
what brought us to this in the past what doors have we had closed forever what moments were not meant to last
what happens to us in the future how can we make sure we're all right what happens to all of our free time what happened to us in the night

Island is OP taking his style and themes, melting them down and forging them into dark, lustrous obsidian. Moody and eerie, stark and yet... enticing.
