The Island (Radio Edit) - Saad Ayub & Cristina Soto

We are the lost We are the sacred Baffled by the way she screams Shattered hearts and bursting seams Life is full of expectations never to be met Singing songs of thankfulness could never be enough Shifty eyes, the fakest grins, shall I do the honors? I turn my head thinking about this side of you Oh, for my sanity I really need a brake But I can't take the time away This need is way too great Will I let the world destroy me? We are the lost We are the sick We are the sacred We are the sacred We accept you For everything you are We accept you For everything you are We beat ourselves down And never think twice about judging or hating Well, isn't that nice? Cruel and filled with trials, a lifetime it seems They would turn around and spit in your face I'm lost and I feel sick, well that's just too bad I'd say it's time to talk but I'm just not ready You might feel sorry For a simple minded soul But what baby wants, baby gets We are the lost We are the sick We are the sacred We are the sacred We accept you For everything you are We accept you For everything you are I'll find a chair, stand and tell you how it is Reminders for the past demand, never let it go You fall short of being where you'd hope to be We are the lost We are the sick We are the sacred We are the sacred We are the lost We are the sacred We are the sick We are the sacred

I was on the roller coaster Found the ground just in time I was underwater when the siren came and saved my life Every day started out last night Every night started over I was on the roller coaster Found the ground just in time Underneath the power lines Last transmission from the island radio Double vision wrapped in last night's party clothes I can't spend another night alone I tried swimming but I can't get home Last transmission from the island radio I could load the catapult and meet you on the other side You could fold the map in half I wouldn't have to take this ride And every day's just another flight Every flight's almost over I could load the catapult and meet you on the other side The other side Last transmission from the island radio Double vision wrapped in last night's party clothes I can't spend another night alone I tried swimming but I can't get home Last transmission from the island radio I wish that you were on what I was on But you were only on my mind I wish that you were on what I was on But you were only on my mind I wish that you were on what I was on Yeah, I'm so gone This is my last transmission from the island radio Double vision wrapped in last night's party clothes I can't spend another night alone I tried swimming but I can't get home Last transmission from the island radio

Happy life with the machines Scattered around the room Look what they made, they made it for me Happy technology Outside, the lions roam feeding on remains We'll never leave, look at us now So in love with the way we are Here The world that the children made The world that the children made Every night, they rock us to sleep Digital family Is it real or is it a dream? Can you believe in machines? Outside, the beating sun Can you hear the screams? We'll never leave, look at us now So in love with the way we are Here The world that the children made The world that the children made Here The world that the children made Here The world that the children made Here The world that the children made Here The world that the children made Here, the world that the children made

An apple a day is not enough An apple a day is not enough Who is playing God here How much can be controlled Destruction creates more To what degree is it a choice to be made By human beings See, we all prefer ecstasy I am slowly becoming A ghost of me

Baby we were beautiful The sun emits to feeding your light We were so invincible Didn't see the target on our hearts Maybe it was all a lie How we gonna take it back Take back what is ours We'll start by pulling our lives out of stars Like they were gunning us... down Our side of the story is painted white And they were gunning us... down Our side of the story is painted white Our side of the story is painted white Baby we were beautiful The sun emits to feeding your light We were so invincible Didn't see the target on our hearts Maybe it was all a lie White Painted white We were painted Now we gonna take it back Take back what is ours We'll start by pulling our life out of stars Like they were gunning us Like they were gunning us Like they were gunning us... down Our side of the story is painted white And they were gunning us. down Our side of the story is painted white Our side of the story is painted white White Painted white We were painted
