lyrics

IN THE SEA OF LIGHT

an island in the sea of light
she goes flying
the timing never seemed to collide
with the high end
shiny like a mirror of spite
where she rides on
trying not to stare at the sky
through the eyes of the night

and all this talk about getting it kinda right
we're blowing smoke in the wells of the bloodshot eyes
of the maker, she's got a thousand lives

an island in the sea of light
an island in the sea of light
she goes flying

staring at the fly on the wall
all the time
you're never gonna catch him at all
if you're trying
to reach the other end of the hall
don't know why
it sees you when you stagger and fall
through the eyes of the night

and all this talk about taking time out to breathe
is nothing but cold smoke, it's time to leave
check out, fade out, no time left to be

an island in the sea of light
an island in the sea of light
she goes flying

trying everything to resolve
all those windouts
it's nothing if you never evolve
beyond the lighthouse
stick em up and you'll never solve
all your problems
by singing while the world revolves
around your islands

and all this talk about doing it all again
is something you would do just to keep it in
line with all your petty thoughts within
and you know you want to win but it's better just to be

an island in the sea of light
an island in the sea of light
she goes flying
