On The Shore - Otep

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 its 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 an empty sky (beneath a gentle sky)

I never got what we were fighting for

I’m all alone now washed ashore

The waves break over me

In 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

I’m gonna sleep well

Sleep tonight

On the shore

Beneath a gentle sky

Sleep well

Sleep tonight

On the shore

Beneath an empty sky (beneath a gentle sky)

(I had to let you go, let you go, let you go)

Selective amnesia’s the people’s anesthesia

Sleep well

Sleep tonight

On the shore

Beneath a gentle sky

Sleep well

Sleep tonight

On the shore

Beneath an empty sky (beneath a gentle sky)

Sleep well

Sleep tonight

On the shore

Safe from your crimes

Sleep well

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
