"Love Island" lyrics

"Love Island"

On day one I watched eleven hours of Love Island
And crawled into an unmade bed
On day two I spent the afternoon in total silence
Running in circles in my head

On day three I turned the key but didn't come
By day four I got bored of being numb
Day five I deep dived into a trench
And tried to make the pain my friend
You can't escape the pain, my friend

I've been brought up as a product of an empty culture
We're living in a fast food world
And it's caught up to me, god I'm sick of seeing vultures
Circling my perimeter

Maybe it's time I get off of the road
And figure out where I'm trying to go
Take five and deep dive into a trench
And try to make the pain my friend
You can't escape the pain, my friend

Much as we want, hard as we try
We gotta live before we die

I can't keep trying to eat just the crumbs
I want more and I'm bored of being numb
It's time that I climb into a trench
And try to make the pain my friend
You can't escape the pain, my friend
