Andromeda

Castaway

At the time I left land and sailed away

Never knew I would end up a castaway

Wind went hard and the sky had tears for me

The sea was all that I saw, my enemy

There are days that I wake up and strongly believe

There are ways to escape, I myself might deceive

In the bottles I've sent, I reached out for a hand

But as sure as I'm here, they have never seen land

Castaway, your clouds are in the way of light

I am stumbling blind

Castaway, your thoughts, remembered by the prints

That I left behind

I know, but it's so hard to show

Myself a way, to a better day

I know that I am destined to live

A life in memory, companion to my misery

I've seen ships passing by, but they've never seen me

And for each day that pass without being free

I will moulder within with nothing to win

I will gamble my soul to pay any toll

Isolation I face every day, every night

What is real what is not, I keep losing my sight

Who's to care who's to not, I just never might know

For the son God forgot, maybe someday, I hope someday they'll show

I used to love the snow

Can I reach it now

Beyond my dreams somehow

Only the stars look the same

How I'd love to know their names
