A Thief on My Island Lyrics by Embrace

Embrace

2014

[Verse 1]
In this room that empties when you're gone
I'm left hanging with no hook to swing from
And this solitude I seem bent on
On my island
On my island
Why'd you fail to find me for so long?
You're the rocks that I've been breaking on
In your seashell where the shore has gone
On my island
On my island
[Chorus]
There's no raising this wreck from the rubble
No escaping, your debts only double
There's no test and no chance to correct it
Fire doors or emergency exits
There's no road and no reference to violence
Or levies to pay that will bring you asylum
There's no room for a thief on my island
My island
On my island
I wanna feel safe
[Verse 2]
When the night ends on a broken heel
Need to see how the excitement feels
Toss my measure on the roulette wheel
On my island
On my island
You're a psycho, you're beyond my care
While you're retching I'll be holding your hair
Find our picture perfect Eden there
On my island
On my island
[Chorus]
There's no raising this wreck from the rubble
No escaping, your debts only double
There's no test and no chance to correct it
Fire doors or emergency exits
There's no road and no reference to violence
Or levies to pay that will bring you asylum
There's no room for a thief on my island
My island
On my island
I wanna feel safe
[Bridge]
My belly's stinging with the sickness
Is everyone bigger than me?
