lyrics

A dead man once said no man is an island
But I respectfully disagree with that
Just look at me
Down beneath my feet, all there is is sea
Just look at me
The day that I wake, the day that I break
Will be the day that Manhattan reconnects with the mainland

Live from Salt Lake it's Wednesday afternoon
And I can't get around the fact that I might drown, if I can't find for me some solid ground.

I've said it once. And I'll say it again
If man were meant to fly, he'd a grown some wings
See here's the thing
I'd be there with them, but I've got no velocity
See here's the thing
The day that I was, the day that I rise
Will be the day that those birds come home to roost in the mainland

Live from Salt Lake it's Wednesday afternoon
And I can't get around the fact that I might drown, if I can't find for me some solid ground

I am like the tide I come and go
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm not crossing it

I see two lights, one that flashes red and one that lights the path ahead
I need some direction, I need some sight cause the sky is turning red
Not so much red, more like the color of the back of my eyelids when I'm staring at the sun.
As long as my eyes are are closed, no one needs to know that I'm lost

I am like the tide I come and go
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm not crossing it
