[Verse 1]
I am alone again
An island separates me from my home and then you pull me closer
And you tell me to control myself
An inlet with no shore
Temper the glass again
We speak in metaphors

[Pre-Chorus]
If the sentence is right
Why does my body interfere?
Like a thief in the night

To steal the stars when they appear
No constellations guide me here
A voice inside me screaming

[Chorus]
Ride the wave like a message in a bottle
For the only words I ever wanna hear
I will wait with syllables I swallow
Bitter taste until they disappear

[Verse 2]
Remove the salt from my veins
No navigation or soul to blame
The ink is poison in my brain

[Pre-Chorus]
If the sentence is right, why does my body disappear?
If I turn out the lights then they can listen to me

[Chorus]
Ride the wave like a message in a bottle
For the only words I ever wanna hear
I will wait with syllables I swallow
Bitter taste until they disappear
I try to tell myself those words are for someone else

A delusion, I feel so clear
My heart corrodes itself
A vessel I can’t compel
To break open when you pull me near

[Bridge]
Hold these words a little longer
Illusion of my depth is stronger
Hold these words a little longer
Illusion of my depth is stronger
Hold these words a little longer
Illusion of my depth is stronger

[Breakdown]
‘Til I break
I pass like a ship in the night
By your words so divine
I can take what’s mine
Islands built on floating roses
No foundation
Nothing grow
You drag me down to hidden trenches
Sirens singing
Echos flow

[Chorus]
Ride the wave like a message in a bottle
For the only words I ever wanna hear
I will wait with the syllables I swallow
Bitter taste until they disappear
I try to tell myself those words are for someone else
A delusion, I feel so clear
My heart corrodes itself
A vessel I can’t compel
To break open when you pull me near
