Lyrics Island - Mainstay

Island

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
