Phantom Island

I just woke up from a dream

I was in a place I'd never been and never seen

So I packed up my horse, everything seemed sweet

Found the closest speakeasy and ordered a stiff drink

Fuck, I never thought I'd lose my mind

I suppose sanity is easy to lose and hard to find

Hey, and can you hear that tintinnabulation?

Are all the bats in the belfry again?

A land-borne illusion breaks the ocean surface

Is this mental confusion, or have I finally found my purpose?

Coconut congas playing in time with the waltz of a tortoise

A symphony of delusion as my thoughts finally realize their purpose

I hope this place is here in the morning

Or I'll be floating back to the land with the water bloated corpses

Their palm trees looking at me funny with a sideways belligerence

A symphony of delusion as my thoughts realize their ignorance

Paranoia's on the growth

Is that laughter or a crow?

Every rustle in the trees, a potential snare

Close my eyes and block my ears

Cut the cord and leave me here

Phantom (phantom)

Island (island)

Phantom (phantom)

Island (Island), whoo!

Am I chasing shadows?

Reality superimposed

Every footprint in the sand

Every crackle of dry leaves

Every wave that breaks too close

Every whisper of the breeze

Every shape inside a cloud

Every star that's out of place

Everything that I believe

Throw it all into the sea and be free

16 horses galloping

12 long years of graphing, grappling

The bull by its horns

I can feel it in my loins

The crippling moon-washed cycle

The lapping rip, the rising flood

The flip of the coin

It's another turning point

Phantom island, insane asylum

Phantom island, insane asylum

I'm the doe, the cat, the dog

The laymen lack a true God

Let your bygones be bygones

Bow down to Set and Typhon

The long lagoon of rhythmic grooves

Bound and stampede running through the

Phantom island, insane asylum

Phantom island, insane asylum

Phantom island, insane asylum

Chanting sirens ringing clear

The palm trees, heads are banging

Stuck inside of mental seas

God, it's me, the sharp cliff hanging

We must retreat back to sea
