Mount Desert Island

Open days and I’m left thinking
Counting waves to stop the sinking
Feeling like I’ve been only blinking
Spotting all instant reminding
Blotting all content with finding
Reeling at the thought of unwinding
And how soon I regret
When the time that I’ve spent
Wonders where it went
Wonders if I forget
First I fled, and then I’d find, there’s no honour in waiting for signs
First I fled, before I’d find, there’s no honour in waiting for signs
First I fled, and then I’d find, there’s no honour in waiting for signs
First I fled, before I’d find, there’s no honour in waiting for
Dead endeavours behind me I’ll lay them beside me
They’ll rise up in a fever to only fall weaker
A widened path of reaction, oh you feel the detachment
Your time spent sourcing a folly and you don’t hear a call
Dead endeavours behind me I’ll lay them beside me
They’ll rise up in a fever to only fall weaker
A widened path of reaction, I can find a distraction
My time spent sourcing a folly, no I don’t hear you call
Someone pull me from within me
Show me what I could be
Teach me to believe I can try
'Cause I miss the one before me who loved without performing
Tell me I can find him inside
'Cause I’m trapped inside my body and blinded by my follies
Fighting just to push them aside
But they’re here and they’re within me
Whispering through my feelings
Teach me to accept and survive
If I have the time, I must take the time
There’s no honour in waiting for signs
If I have the time, I must take the time
There’s no honour in waiting for signs
