Empty Horizon

from Paquin I by Paquin

/

lyrics

I cling to my youth, wisdom and age holds no candle for me
Not ration nor truth against blissful ignorance
There is happiness found in my carelessness and on selfish grounds
No shackles are on my life

I’m lying here on my island, staring up into my eyelids
No cares in the world, with nothing to hope for
Another day on my island, watching my life declining
The ship comes in, to take me away

I would walk out of here, abandoning all the familiar faces
The ties that bind me to this place
If I could wrap myself up in the arms of sleep
Burn off the months it would take me to keep the wolves at bay
I would torch my memory

I’m lying here on my island, staring up into my eyelids
No cares in the world, with nothing to hope for
But another day on my island watching my life decline
Till the ship comes in to take me away

A castaway, alone on this isle
Ship comes in - take me away
The freedom to live in aching denial
Ship comes in - take me away
Empire of love, a throne in the wild
Ship comes in - take me away
Smoke signal lifts up an empty horizon
