lyrics

Cradle your mind in your beliefs
or reject any doubt with fluoxetine. [prozac]
Hope for the best when your best is fear
or embrace your unease til it disappears.

Chorus

If not today, perhaps tomorrow
I must return what's only borrowed.
This tired brain will dissipate. Your solemn words will go to waste.
If there's a world beyond this sorrow,
a deeper worth, not something hollow,
it calls to those who hold it true.
A memory, it will have to do.

wait for a sign you do not deserve
or work for the peace that you have to earn.
I wondered if life was a pointless end,
before I could find my resolve again.

Chorus.
If not today, perhaps tomorrow
I must return what's only borrowed.
This tired brain will dissipate.
But solemn words won't go to waste.
Within this life, and all it's sorrow.
To say goodbye is hard to swallow.
But revel, friends, I've always known
that In the end I am not alone.

Shifting like sunlight in oceans abound
here I have found perception.
I've waited my whole life to know that
I mattered, I mattered here.

Arcade Island recommends:

Mr. Plastic
by Glowbug

This album is a perfect example of music for the sake of music. There are little to no intelligible words, but lyrics are simply (catchy) melodies, almost as if we should move to the music, not flair. Arcade Island

Tour EP
by Teen Daze

I love how this album exemplifies feelings and moods, the songs aren't necessarily about events. Sometimes I think that says more about life than anything else. Arcade Island
