Owen - An Island Lyrics

Owen Lyrics

"An Island"

Shit got heavy like my eyelids
On a highway that won't end
You got quiet like an island, so I left

I headed out to sea
A toothless shark
An actor playing a part
But I can't pretend to care like I did when
The unknown was my second home

Now we're upside down, Love
Gravity had a change of heart
You fell for the hell of it and I fell for it all

I've incisive intuition
It's a curse more than anything
I'm always the first to know how everything ends

Bullets in June
A nice night for a knife fight
Between two boats drifting

The Sun shines on you, Love
You're well-lit like a work of art
And I've been exiled like the enemy
Forever in the dark
