On The Shore
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’m getting out
And leaving you behind
I’m so tired
Of forging a life
On the run, a loaded gun
There’s a name on the bullet
I’m afraid it’s mine
(I had to let you go, let you go, let you go)
I’m on the first boat leaving this war
I never got what we were fighting for
The water’s warm I can see dry land
No longer living under your command
(I had to let you go, let you go, let you go)
I’m gonna sleep well sleep tonight
On the shore
Beneath a emtee sky
I never got what were fighting for
I’m all alone now washed ashore
The waves break over me
N the blood-colored mud so tenderly
I’m on the first boat leaving this war
I never got what we were fighting for
The water’s warm I can see dry land
No longer living under your command
Gonna sleep well
Sleep tonight
On the shore
Beneath a gentle sky
Sleep well
Sleep tonight
On the shore
Beneath an emtee sky
I had to let u go
Let you go
Let you go

The people’s anesthesia
Selective amnesia’s
The people’s anesthesia
Selective amnesia’s
The people’s anesthesia
Sleep well
You can sleep tonight
On the shore
Beneath a gentle sky
Sleep well
You can sleep tonight
On the shore
Beneath an emtee sky
Sleep well
You can sleep tonight
On the shore
Safe from your crimes
Sleep well
You can sleep tonight
On the shore
Safe from your crimes
(Selective amnesia’s
The people’s anesthesia)
How can you choose
To let the blind see better than you?
To let the blind see better than you?
