The Island Lyrics - True North - Bad Religion

There's a world outside but I can't really make it 

There's a life to lead but I can't exactly fake it 

Yet the mood feels right 

But my island is sinking out of sight 

I made jetties so they'd catch all the sediment 

Removed the rocks and every impediment 

But the tide's rising high to wash away my island in the night 

The sheltering sky was to be my everlasting lullaby 

They said that islands were solid as bedrock 

Standing firm forevermore 

But over time even basement wastes away to the unrelenting shore

There's a lonely seed waiting to be planted 

I've instructions but desire is wholly absent 

I'm just a petrel in the storm 

My island can't protect me anymore
