The Island Always Listens

[Intro] (Violent storm static… distant screaming buried in thunder… radio crackling) “…DO NOT SAY YOUR NAME OUT LOUD…” (Long silence) “…it listens for that…” ⸻ [Verse 1] Black rain dripping from the telephone wire Whole coastline smell like something died Palm trees twisting like broken hands Something underneath the sand Old shack shaking when the bassline crawl Hear soft knocking inside the walls No one sleeping near the northern shore Cause something been walking there long before ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Every whisper travel through the leaves Every secret sink beneath your feet ⸻ [Hook] The island always listens Through the thunder through the flood Every word you ever speak Roll back dripping out with blood The island always listens Hear it breathing through the tide And if the darkness learns your voice There ain’t nowhere left to hide ⸻ [Verse 2] Radio tower screaming in the rain Static sounding almost like your name Every frequency bend outta shape Like the signal trying to escape Children staring at the ocean line Drawing symbols they ain’t seen before in life Dogs won’t move when the night wind cry Even the vultures scared to fly ⸻ [Bridge] (Music cuts almost completely out — only breathing, rain, and low bass pulse) Don’t look at the water. Don’t answer the radio. And if you hear singing… RUN. (Bass detonates back in violently) ⸻ [Final Hook] The island always listens Every fear become a prayer Every soul that wash ashore Leave a little something there The island always listens Now it breathing down your neck And once it know your heartbeat… It never forgets. ⸻ [Outro] (Distorted emergency broadcast… thunder… whispering all around the stereo field)
