Sheepwave - Castaway Lyrics

"I wish I wasn't you"
I whisper and the mirror says it, too
I don't know what to do
My fears are coming true
I know I gotta move
To get me right
I used to have some patience in this fight
But now I've crossed a line
I fell so far behind
And I don't know if I
Am worth the effort it will take try and start again
I thought I had a grip, it's just an empty hand
"I'm sure I'll find a reason"
Did I just feign believing
Or am I really on the mend?
It's like I'm castaway alone
I only hope I make it home
But I'm weighed down
I start to drown
No line to hold
Adrift in every way
This sea of night won't go away
Just when I've found
My solid ground
I'm castaway
It really isn't new
This isolated space I fell into
It's such a lonely view
Unending navy blue
I never could remove it from my mind
So I just play pretend that I'm alright
A masqueraded sight
"I see it through your eyes"
Is that what I implied
Or did I hear it from the ones who say they understand?
I guess it's hard to trust that anybody can
I'm going through the motions
While swallowed by an ocean
Just praying I can breathe again
It's like I'm castaway alone
I only hope I make it home
But I'm weighed down
I start to drown
No line to hold
Adrift in every way
This sea of night won't go away
Just when I've found
My solid ground
I'm castaway
No horizon
I look up to the skies
And all I get is a silence
Oh God, I'm really trying
I just need a little light
And I can make it back to land
Oh I know I can find it
I felt it for a time
But now I'm trapped on an island
The ocean keeps on rising
Will I fall to the tide
Or will I find a place to stand?
Oh when did I start holding in my breath?
When will I breathe again?
When will I breathe again?
I gotta breathe again
I need to breathe
I need to breathe again
I'm castaway alone
I only hope I make it home
But I'm weighed down
I start to drown
No line to hold
I'm adrift in every way
This sea of night won't go away
Just when I've found
My solid ground
I'm castaway
I'm castaway

"I wish I wasn't you"
I whisper and the mirror says it, too
I don't know what to do
My fears are coming true
I know I gotta move
To get me right
I used to have some patience in this fight
But now I've crossed a line
I fell so far behind
And I don't know if I
Am worth the effort it will take try and start again
I thought I had a grip, it's just an empty hand
"I'm sure I'll find a reason"
Did I just feign believing
Or am I really on the mend?
It's like I'm castaway alone
I only hope I make it home
But I'm weighed down
I start to drown
No line to hold
Adrift in every way
This sea of night won't go away
Just when I've found
My solid ground
I'm castaway
It really isn't new
This isolated space I fell into
It's such a lonely view
Unending navy blue
I never could remove it from my mind
So I just play pretend that I'm alright
A masqueraded sight

Or did I hear it from the ones who say they understand?
I guess it's hard to trust that anybody can

No line to hold
I'm adrift in every way
This sea of night won't go away
Just when I've found
My solid ground
I'm castaway
I'm castaway
