Lyrics

I only want to be here if you want to be free
'Cause Territory ain't my story definitely
Two days here and four days gone
And a day in between to get my reason on

I used to be my soldiers' captain
Alone not lonely, oh, but free
Now I'm just an island
What's left from swells at sea

The waves lapping up so fast
Broken crew and mast
It can't be
Souls debris
Broken at last

I only want to be here if you want to be free
'Cause Territory ain't my story definitely
Two days here and four days gone
And a day in between to get my reason on

I used to be an island
Trees and rocks and shells and sand
Now I'm driftwood
An island with no land
The battle fought that night
Sea and soul unite
Ricochet
Tidal Wave
This can't be right

I only want to be here if you want to be free
'Cause Territory ain't my story definitely
Two days here and four days gone
And a day in between to get my reason on

Only broken when I breathe which I rarely ever do
Building stack on the backs for the sanity coup

Snooze to choose you lose your move to play
In the games of days
Don't let it go down that way

I used to be some island driftwood
Whose guard had rotted in the sea
Now I pound the shores
Of those who were like me

Being in the sea
Islands look so free
Headed for
Distant Shore
Reminds me of me
