lyrics

Island of the Dolls:

rrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I am the one in control
I am the ruler of all here
No one shall remain on my island unless I bid it
Yet before me lies a girl that I have never seen

How did you land here?

All this time, unknown, no one to care for you
I won’t separate you from your beloved doll
She shall hang above where you will lay
I cannot leave here
This is my home and here I will stay

Ten feet below is the only solution
They will watch you
To the problem that shouldn’t be
Yet here you lie
I still hang them as they wash ashore
Always watching
Never looking away from your body
Eyes by the thousands

Island of the dolls!!!!!

Why are they laughing at me?
I gave you the burial you deserved
Every doll that arrives is hung in your honor
Yet all I can hear is the laughing
Get out of my head!
Just tell me what you want and I will obey.

Ten feet below is the only solution
They will watch you
To the problem that shouldn’t be
Yet here you lie
I still hang them as they wash ashore
Always watching
Never looking away from your body
Eyes by the thousands

Diving into the water I can see my soul being ripped from the inside out
I can almost reach you as my eyes begin to fade into the darkness
I want to reach you I will find meaning to my island of the dolls.
