CASTAWAY Songtext
von Pertinence

I can′t lie, I think I might die trying
How many times can I be in and out of line?
And I'm not hiding
Wish somebody would come and find me
How much time have I spent on this island?
Oh-oh-ohhh
Ohhh-ohhh
All my life been waiting on divine timing
Cut the lights, nobody came to my party


I′m used to doing 110
Driving speedy as I can
Telling friends, telling family
To catch me if they can
Got an itinerary
It's full of big plans
Been so focused on the bread
Man, I been getting antsy
No one understands
Am I speaking in Pig Latin?
Been praying that my peak
Wasn't living in the valley
Trudging through the sand
I been working on my alchemy
Got hecklers in the stands
I won′t let them get it out of me
Trying to observe
But it′s tough without a balcony
Tryna stay strong
But it's tough without the cavalry
Making it alone
I fell victim to a fallacy
So tell me, was I wrong
When I chose to bet it all on me?
Not enough words
For me to put it on a page
No interpretation
That would help me to explain
Not a medication
That could help me feel sane
Brother, no exaggeration
I′ve gave it everything, and—

I can't lie, I think I might die trying
How many times can I be in and out of line?
And I′m not hiding
Wish somebody would come and find me
How much time have I spent on this island?
Oh-oh-ohhh
Ohhh-ohhh
All my life been waiting on divine timing
Cut the lights, nobody came to my party
Stuck outside
I ate my pride to survive it
How much time have I spent on this island?
Island
Ohhh-ohhhh
Ohhh-ohhh
Guess that's just the way that it goes


Man, there′s not enough food
For my family on this island
Running out of juice
Needing fuel, adding mileage
Tell me, how would you stay true to the process
If all the fruit you grew were consumed to survive it?
Pulled up all my roots
To make room on this island
Howling at the moon
Going loon on this island
Try and make do
No supplies in the tropics
I'm diving for the truth
But the PSI is rising
Tryna stay positive
And focus on horizons
But I been losing confidence
That I'ma find a life vest
Maybe no one′s coming
Maybe this is one of God′s tests
Funny to be honest
Man, I always thought I was blessed
North, south, east, west
Everywhere I look, I'm stressed
Used up all my flares
That′s the cost of crying wolf, I guess
Used to have hope
Every day I feel it less and less
I'm starting to believe
I won′t make it through the end of this
I'm staring at the stars
Can′t make sense of it all
Drew a map, planned a route
'Til the waves threw me off
Got my head under the water
Breathing air through a straw
Man, I did everything right
And yet this the result
Difficult to take with a grain of salt
Stuck in ocean water
This is the result
Of a boat stuck in autopilot
Ain't nobody′s fault but my own
And I′m haunted by it
Swimming toward the coast
Tell my folks that I died trying

I can't lie, I think I might die trying
How many times can I be in and out of line?
And I′m not hiding
Wish somebody would come and find me
How much time have I spent on this island?
Oh-oh-ohhh
Ohhh-ohhh
Guess that's just the way that it goes
I can′t lie, I think I might die trying
How many times can I be in and out of line?
And I'm not hiding
Wish somebody would come and find me
How much time have I spent on this island?
Oh-oh-ohhh
Ohhh-ohhh
All my life been waiting on divine timing
Cut the lights, nobody came to my party
Stuck outside
I ate my pride to survive it
How much time have I spent on this island?
Island
Ohhh-ohhhh
Guess that′s just the way that it goes
