about

Felix, rowing home, realizes that the Island is changing him.

lyrics

Felix:
I TRY TO ROW UNTIL MY MUSCLES BURN AND FAIL ME
SO MY HEAD CAN BARELY REGISTER THE FEELINGS THAT DERAIL ME EVERYDAY
I PUSH MY BODY ‘TIL MY BETTER SELF CAN BOTTLE UP
THE SHAME AND THE CONFUSION WITH ILLUSIONS THAT I’M NORMAL AND OKAY

I STAY ALONE OUT ON THE WATER SO MY CONSCIOUSNESS CAN FLOAT AWAY
AND DISAPPEAR FOREVER OR AN AFTERNOON
AND YET THESE PEOPLE HONESTLY EMBRACE ME
AND THIS PLACE FEELS LIKE A MEMORY I NEVER DREAMED OF CHASING

COULD YOU BE MY ANCHOR
COULD YOU BE MY FRIEND
HAVE I FOUND LOVE THAT COULD SET ME FREE?
COULD THIS BE AN ANSWER
COULD THIS BE AN END
HAVE I FOUND A HARBOR THAT IS SAFE FOR ME?

WHEN I SPEAK AT HOME I STRIVE TO ALWAYS KEEP MY GUARD UP
SO THAT NO ONE SPIES THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LIES I USE AS ARMOR
BUT I’M TIRED OF ALWAYS LYING, YET I’M TERRIFIED OF TRYING TO LIVE HONESTLY, THAT ISN’T ME, IT DOESN’T SEEM RESPONSIBLE

BUT THESE NEW POSSIBILITIES UPEND THE PATH I’D CHOSEN
AND ALTHOUGH I KNOW THE DANGERS, I AM DREAMING AND I’M HOPING
OF A LIFE AND OF A LOVE AND OF A FEELING THAT I’M WORTHY
IT’S FAR TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR, BUT I THINK I MIGHT DESERVE IT

COULD YOU BE MY ANCHOR
COULD YOU BE MY FRIEND
HAVE I FOUND LOVE THAT COULD SET ME FREE?
COULD THIS BE AN ANSWER
COULD THIS BE AN END
HAVE I FOUND A HARBOR THAT IS SAFE FOR ME?

COULD THIS BE A SIGNAL?
COULD THIS BE A SIGN?
COULD THIS BE WHAT’S RIGHT AFTER FEELING SO WRONG?

HAVE I FOUND MY PIECE OF HEAVEN
HAVE I FOUND MY PEACE OF MIND
HAVE I FOUND THE PLACE WHERE I TRULY BELONG?

COULD THIS BE AN ANSWER TO A PRAYER I COULDN’T MAKE?
COULD THIS BE THE PROOF I AM NOT A MISTAKE
COULD THIS BE A MESSAGE SENT DOWN FROM ABOVE
THAT I AM WORTH OF SOMEBODY TO LOVE

COULD THIS BE A REFUGE FROM A RAGING SEA?
HAVE I FOUND A HARBOR SAFE FOR ME?
