At the time I left land and sailed away   Never knew I would end up a castaway   Wind went hard and the sky had tears for me   The sea was all that I saw, my enemy      There are days that I wake up and strongly believe   There are ways to escape, I myself might deceive   In the bottles I've sent, I reached out for a hand   But as sure as I'm here, they have never seen land      [Chorus:]   Castaway, your clouds are in the way of light   I am stumbling blind   Castaway, your thoughts, remembered by the prints   That I left behind      I know, but it's so hard to show   Myself a way, to a better day   I know that I am destined to live   A life in memory, companion to my misery      I've seen ships passing by, but they've never seen me   And for each day that pass without being free   I will moulder within with nothing to win   I will gamble my soul to pay any toll   Isolation I face every day, every night   What is real what is not, I keep losing my sight   Who's to care who's to not, I just never might know   For the son God forgot, maybe someday,   I hope someday they'll show      I used to love the snow   Can I reach it now   Beyond my dreams somehow   Only the stars look the same   How I'd love to know their names      [Chorus]      I know, but it's so hard to show   Myself a way, to a better day   I know that I am destined to live   Trapped by the sea, living in your memory
