Living life in a day dream
Of what I believed I would be
I didn't realise
That the plot was already unfolding
“Take centre stage!” I screamed
At the actor playing me
It's time the you stopped
Hiding in the wings, imagining

That shadows on a gauze
Were all I had to guide me
Just how long has this course
Been plotted? I can't tell
I remember something
Like seeds sprouting

I figured out just where this smouldering
Heap of timbers is sailing to
It's a desert fucking island
Paved with rain and solitude

Are crop circles created by sleepwalkers?
It's something I could imagine
And something dark
But from here on in I'm giving up
On pretending I never gave a fuck

I figured out just where this smouldering
Heap of timbers is sailing to
It's a desert fucking island
Paved with rain and solitude
I drank my fill of that concoction
Years ago, so abandon ship
If that's the only way for me to
Turn around now, I'd sooner swim.

I hear a scream as I wake up
Well, where were we when I drifted off
I've been sleepwalking in circles…

I figured out just where this smouldering
Heap of timbers is sailing to
It's a desert fucking island
Paved with rain and solitude
But did I ever really think I’d
Find a way to convince myself
I wasn't going to make it
Without going through hell

I figured out just where this smouldering
Heap of timbers is sailing to
It's a desert fucking island
Paved with rain and solitude
I drank my fill of all that poison
Years ago, so abandon ship
If that's the only way for me to
Turn around now, I’d sooner swim.
