Cast Away Starring Tom Hanks

You claim to care more, so I'll defer and be resentment borne
To an island's silent shore, build a raft for company's comfort

'Cause on the closest of days, you're miles away
But you can't stand to face the gulf that separates us
So you send bottled messages, smoke signals, mirror flashes
Call it conversation and compassion

Caught up painting volleyballs, making help signs with rocks
Never bother to explore what the jungle has in store
There are creatures that whisper so softly from the trees that
You'd scarcely believe it was more than the breeze
As vines caress your each hesitant step, beckon you to lasting peace
Ignore the tricks Plato played and return to the cave, its depths are the substance of dreams

'Cause on the simplest of days, your mind is a maze, but you can't stand to face
The riddle you're made of, so you settle
To check your reflection in the murkiest of waters
Call it the extent of your identity

If I get lost, hacking swaths through tangles of thought
At least I won't have wasted my time
Babbling to an endless sea and a featureless sky
