[Verse 1]
This is what it's like to be me
Looking for a flashlight in a blank sea
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Nothing but time on my hands
Nothing but blood on the sand
[Chorus]
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I'm honest
I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I'm like a child when there's no hope
I'm on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land
[Verse 2]
This is time and space, the in-between
Dreaming of an out and to be seen
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing but fear in my hand
Nothing but doubt in my brain
[Chorus]
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I'm honest
I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I'm like a child when there's no hope
I'm on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land
[Bridge]
Come on, use your heart and be grateful
Your father gave his heart for you to be hateful
He was the bastard man that put you on this goddamn island
[Chorus]
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I'm honest
I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I'm like a child when there's no hope
I'm on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land

Gillespie told Loudwire Magazine, “It’s a story of my childhood that really comes apart in the bridge discussing my father,” Gillespie says. “The song essentially explains how I got to be the way I am. I need the chokehold to succeed. It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written.”
