Lirieke: Lauren Hoffman. The Lucknow Demos. Out Of The Sky, Into The Sea.

Don't want to go where they are cruel and cold
Turning me into stone, making me dry
Give me this warmth
A sunbeam to live in
A window to look out of

Misery blooms on the stem of suppression
The world that you see is the one you believe
Sleeping in poppies, lost in the forest

Out of the sky, into the sea
Disappear under here pulled by the tide
Give me an island
I am an island

Don't want to go where they pull out the mold
Casting me out of clay, making me dry
Give me this warmth
A sunbeam to live in
A window to look out of

Shut out the sights
Pull tight the sheets
Hey live in the dark and their faces you see
By the sliver of light through a cracked open door

Castles and kings await you my sweet
Dragons will fly you far, far from here
Where the concrete enfolds you
Here, where they mould you of steel

Out of the sky, into the sea
Disappear under here pulled by the tide
Give me an island
I am an island
