Don't try, stare in the mirror
Don't try, I'm not here
Don't try, I'm not living
Don't try, I'm just waiting around

I've been forced to remember
So much more than today
I've no choice but to take with me
Everything I wanted to say
Islands caught in the middle
Islands unto ourselves
I've been forced to remember
Everything I want to forget

Don't try, fear of the middle
(Just a face in the crowd)
Don't try, stare in the mirror
Don't try, years wasted
(Just a face in the crowd)
Don't try, the future's here
And thеre's no way out

I've been forced to rеmember
So much more than today
I've no choice but to take to the grave
Everything I wanted to say
Islands caught in the middle
Islands unto ourselves
I've been forced to remember
Everything I want to forget
