Phantom Island

Woo!

Yeah, yeah, yeah

And to my loved ones, who navigate the currents of life

And who, occasionally or regularly, feel rudderless in the river:


In this long night, there is no end

Deep dominion

Father be my friend

I stand on the shoulders of mothers long dead

Singing their stories


Life is but an eddy

So be a leaf in a stream

Eternally we return to cycle through the song we learnt


I would say, "Don’t be a musician, my son

Be a doctor, lawyer, or a stand-up citizen

Pеople on the street would stop and ask me if I’m proud

But I’m not proud

You did it yoursеlf; I wasn’t around"


But time is pregnant with the past

With the knowledge that they lost

Time is eating its last meal

If they listened, could they heal?


Yeah, yeah, yeah

And though I cannot hold you, you will know my presence by virtue of the wind

You know your daddy never knew what he was doing

It’s all love

I love you


I am wind

I am rain

I am photon

I am wave

I am wind

I am rain

I am photon

I am wave

I am love

Trauma pain

Reincarnate hurricane

I have sinned

Fanned the flames

Knocking on the pearly gates
