Island - Mainstay

In an old apartment waiting for the walls to move

Praying that someone, hoping that no one intrudes

Living like an actor, feeling like a poet bruised

But no man is an island

Lay down your robe, leper or rogue

Keep yourself open here

Don’t let the cold close to your soul, lonely tonight

Passing like a shadow, never letting anyone see

Maybe I’m biased, but I don’t think you know

The first thing about me

Lay down your robe, leper or rogue

Keep yourself open here

Don’t let the cold close to your soul

No one is free come light

Heavier stones think themselves

That they’re alone here

But everyone grieves and everyone feels lonely tonight

Don’t tell me you know, when I know you don’t
