Castaway

At the time i left land and sailed away
never knew i would end up a castaway
wind went hard and the sky had tears for me
the sea was all that i saw, my enemy
There are days that i wake up and strongly believe
there are ways to escape, i myself might deceive
in the bottles i've sent, i reached out for a hand
but as sure as i'm here, they have never seen land
[chorus:]
castaway, your clouds are in the way of light
i am stumbling blind
castaway, your thoughts, remembered by the prints
that i left behind
I know, but it's so hard to show
myself a way, to a better day
i know that i am destined to live
a life in memory, companion to my misery
I've seen ships passing by, but they've never seen me
and for each day that pass without being free
i will moulder within with nothing to win
i will gamble my soul to pay any toll
isolation i face every day, every night
what is real what is not, i keep losing my sight
who's to care who's to not, i just never might know
for the son god forgot, maybe someday, i hope someday they'll show
I used to love the snow
can i reach it now
beyond my dreams somehow
only the stars look the same
how i'd love to know their names
[chorus]
I know, but it's so hard to show
myself a way, to a better day
i know that i am destined to live
trapped by the sea, living in your memory
