I Am an Island Lyrics
It’s easier in the morning
To shrug off the evening’s
Drunken, pathetic pleas
Because the night’s tragic rambling
Is the next day’s apology
So if you can sit tight until the sun hits the blinds
We can settle everything
I just can’t trust my instincts
One day my heart beats with passion
The next it waxes black
If I seem a little callous
I assure you it’s just a scratch
So if you can hold on until the mood swings are gone
Then we might just have a chance
I just can’t fake it anymore
I’m a cold, jaded, selfish, abusive, dysfunctional fuck up
I’m needing to be rescued
I’m stranded on myself
And I can’t escape from this island I’ve made
I’m afraid I never will
reminds me of a fucker i know
i love this song so much. i love this band. yes i do.
This song sounds like a theme for me... I love these guys, man...I love em sniff
Haha..."One day my heart beats with passion, The next it waxes black." Hi, Andrew.
This song is amazing to me. Means so much. im moving on and this helps me for some reason.
i cant help, i have mood swings im a girl.
this bothers me cuz i recognize too closely with this track. esp. 'the cold jaded selfish abusive dysfunctional fuck up' bit. too true.
i played this song for my ex because it described him perfectly, I think. go tim<3
I learned a couple weeks ago that the lead singer of the band is Tim for cursive, which is really cool, and now I'm listening to them alot. Their lyrics are honest, brutal, but honest. I really like them.
this song is great- I just bought Album of The Year and now I really want Black Out as well. Great song to sing along to.
black out is an awesome cd, i would venture to say better than album of the year, despite what the latter's title might try and say.
