Isle unto Thyself (Demo)
[Chorus]
Blind a shining star
We won't see so far
Know what can't be shown
Feel what can't be known

[Verse 1]
I was an isle unto myself
I had a heart I hadn't felt
Why would it hurt me?
Or was it real?

[Verse 2]
It was the day I had to part
I was afraid to miss my heart
What did it matter?
Why did it matter?
Or would I feel?

[Chorus]
Blind a shining star
We won't see so far
Know what can't be shown
Feel what can't be known

[Post-Chorus]
I was a victim of magic, Apollo
Catching my breath as I bled on the ground
Somebody called me to follow, I followed
Thinking aloud without hearing the sound
[Verse 3]
When all the planets fall to dust
Lonely departing after us
Gone, not forgotten
Long but forgotten

[Verse 4]
In every element of life
Love camouflages under strife
Or other matters
Not only matter
Let there be more

[Chorus]
Blind a shining star
We won't see so far
Know what can't be shown
Feel what can't be known

[Post-Chorus]
Maybe we'll tango tomorrow, the sorrow
Sweeping us off as our mother replies
Suddenly everything flowing, like water
Clearer than all we can see with our eyes

[Outro]
Why do traveling tumbleweeds arrive?
Why do murderous animals survive?
Why do I deserve to be revived?
Why are any or all of us alive?
