[Verse 1]

I am alone again

An island separates me from my home and then you pull me closer

And you tell me to control myself

An inlet with no shore

Temper the glass again

We speak in metaphors

[Pre-Chorus]

If the sentence is right

Why does my body interfere?

Like a thief in the night

To steal the stars when they appear

No constellations guide me here

A voice inside me screaming

[Chorus]

Ride the wave like a message in a bottle

For the only words I ever wanna hear

I will wait with the syllables I swallow

Bitter taste until they disappear

[Verse 2]

Remove the salt from my veins

No navigation or soul to blame

The ink is poison in my brain

[Pre-Chorus]

If the sentence is right, why does my body disappear?

If I turn out the lights then they can listen to me

[Chorus]

Ride the wave like a message in a bottle

For the only words I ever wanna hear

I will wait with the syllables I swallow

Bitter taste until they disappear

I try to tell myself those words are for someone else

A delusion, I feel so clear

My heart corrodes itself

A vessel I can't compel

To break open when you pull me near

[Bridge]

Hold these words a little longer

Illusion of my depth is stronger

Hold these words a little longer

Illusion of my depth is stronger

Hold these words a little longer

Illusion of my depth is stronger

[Breakdown]

'Til I break

I pass like a ship in the night

By your words so divine

I can take what's mine

Islands built on floating roses

No foundation, nothing grows

You drag me down to hidden trenches

Sirens singing, echoes flow

[Chorus]

Ride the wave like a message in a bottle

For the only words I ever wanna hear

I will wait with the syllables I swallow

Bitter taste until they disappear

I try to tell myself those words are for someone else

A delusion, I feel so clear

My heart corrodes itself

A vessel I can't compel

To break open when you pull me near
