Take me to a place where I can be found
Take me to a place
This body of water, pulling me under
Breathing me out
Lead me to a place where I can be found
Carry me away to
Paint me in white and colour me blind
To all of the sound
All of the words you keep throwing, I let them fall, I let them fall
Maybe the something I need is nothing at all
Nothing at all
Make me an island
Give me a home
Make me an island
Cover my soul
Wash all the fear from my skin
Let it sink as I swim till I fly
Tired of the noise that pushes me down
Bury all the words deep
Into the blue till I am renewed
I don't want to drown
All of the words you keep throwing, I let them fall, I let them fall
Maybe the something I need is nothing at all
Nothing at all
Make me an island
Give me a home
Make me an island
Cover my soul
Wash all the fear from my skin
Let it sink as I swim till I fly
Make me an island
Give me a home
Make me an island
Cover my soul
Wash all the fear from my skin
Let it sink as I swim till I fly
Oh, I could be there
Make me
Make me an island
Give me a home
Make me an island
Cover my soul
Wash all the fear from my skin
Let it sink as I swim till I fly
Make me an island
Give me a home
Make me an island
Cover my soul
Wash all the fear from my skin
Let it sink as I swim till I fly

I wrote this late last summer. Depression isn’t something I’d ever encountered close up and I’ve been fortunate enough not to have suffered with it, but when someone you love does, you can feel so helpless.
