This styling is a little different to what I normally do, but I received a commission to create something with a little Killers kick to it. I hope you enjoy, as it was a lot of work in a studio that is no yet completely user friendly, but its worth it to create music for good friends.

Lyrics

This island’s a cage in a painted sea

Prison bars built out of memory

Every street hums like a broken wire

Every breath tastes like a funeral fire

Ghosts in the dark, can’t carry the weight

Love was a lock and you forged the gate

Chasing a tide that will never return

Living in lessons I’ll never unlearn

And the waves, they whisper lies

Pull me under, blur the sky

I’m walking off this island

With the shadows on my sleeve

I’ve been drowning in your silence

Now I’m learning how to breathe

Every step’s a confession

Every mile’s a debt I pay

I’m walking off this island

And I won’t be back someday

Cold lamplight and a concrete hymn

Your name’s graffiti on my skin

This town’s a riddle with a poisoned tongue

Every night repeats, every song unsung

Chained to a chair in an empty room

Heart ticks loud like a timed-out fuse

If the ferry leaves, then I’ll chase the smoke

Burn the rope before I choke

I’m walking off this island

With the shadows on my sleeve

I’ve been drowning in your silence

Now I’m learning how to breathe

Every step’s a confession

Every mile’s a debt I pay

I’m walking off this island

And I won’t be back someday

Your ghost is a hymn in the traffic hum

Your face is a war I’ll never outrun

But I’m done with the weight, I’ve severed the chain

I’m a match in the rain, I’m calling my name

I’m walking off this island

With the ocean at my back

I’ve been living in the silence

Now I’m burning what I lack

Every step’s a confession

Every mile’s a song I’ll play

I’m walking off this island

And I won’t be back someday

I’m walking off this island

I won’t be back someday

Yeah, I won’t be back someday
