Arca - The Island That Never Was Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
What I know for sure is I can fill a void
I'm something that's no more than a toy
A moment of time escapes between your palms like sand
Times like these I feel less than a man

Baby imma getaway
I think am an island
All we do is hideaway
You just wear me out like Alaïa

And I know you’re a liar
But your the only one that comes by
And suddenly I’m in heaven
Celebration trepidation I said goodbye

I don’t think I ask for much
Just someone that shows they care
Just someone that knows they care
But you need incentive to be there

But it gets tiring
Giving out all my sand
Because then there none left for me
Sometimes I feel less than a man
[VERSE 2]
I allowed my body to become a vacation
I allowed my body to be yours and not mine
Like I was a souvenir
That was never gonna come back

Every single grain
That I could have used to build a castle on my back
Got lost in time
It twisted my mind

Now I have to dance to my own beat
I don’t think anyone understands me
And one things for sure
Nobody’s gonna turn my island into an asylum on me

So I casted it away
And I looked at how the water sways
A fluid life I wanted this
The land up here is poisonous

Implants dark thoughts in this bliss

[OUTRO]
But I didn’t realize that today I would enter an eternal sleep, where I would wake in a world that never was. It was a dream. A dream land that I would in turn search for forever, and one that I would never reach. I hear people call it Elementheiam. Do you want to chase this place together? Do you want to chase this place together?
