From my island I can watch as my every need is fulfilled
From my island I can watch as my enemies are smote
From my island I can see all the calmness in the world
From my island I can see all the things I’ll never achieve
From my island I can see my family
From my island I can see what all my friends will look like in 40 years
From my island I can see what I’d look like if I lost weight / had surgery / cut off my hair
From my island I can see blinding white blonde sand
From my island I can see what she sees in me
From my island I can see what my mum wishes she could change about me
From my island I can see yachts which are worth more than my parent’s house
From my island I can see a pile of my favourite fruit
From my island I can watch my unborn children play
From my island I can see a happy, healthy life for myself
From my island I can see why I need to be alone now
From my island I can see how much I am loved
From my island I can see a letter that I wrote long ago but didn’t send
From my island I can see my bravery retreat across the horizon
From my island I can watch my fearlessness ebb away
From my island I can watch the waves erode, destroy and scar
From my island I can see the people I love leave me
From my island I can watch as two people fall in love
From my island I can watch two people dance themselves into oblivion
From my island I can smell the shrimp cooking
From my island I can smell the sea full of salt and piss and tears and joy and death
From my island I can smell decay
From my island I can hear the latest chart toppers
From my island I can see pools of light
From my island I can see the rockpools
On my island I can savour every breath
On my island I can see every promise I ever made
On my island I can see other people cuddled up
On my island I can see my reflection in others
From my island I can see a carnival of happy people
From my island I can see planes
From my island I can see the stranded
From my island I can see moon and stars and sky
From my island I can watch snow turn into ice
From my island I can see skyscrapers
On my island it’s getting dark
On my island I can see thick air
On my island I can see everyone I love
On my island I can see everything I’ll never do
On my island I can see a pile of clothes. They’re not mine
On my island I can see a light
On my island I can see a spark
On my island I can see something stirring in the dark
On my island I can see a path I’ve never walked
On my island I can watch reality blur
