lyrics

Sitting on the Old Dark Shore
Lyrics by Tommy Schulz

When you're feeling blue
Plumb like a fool
When your fear has gotten out of hand to you
When your blanket’s wet and your sails are furled
And your shoulders hold the weight of the world

When the truth in you just isn't coming true
And the only things that happen to you, happen too soon
Your Chain is kinked
And your Dark wind blows
And your little light barely glows

There's a place where every mirror reflects another lonely soul
A stale old state where you can't hold your own
Where the sun shines gray
Its torture day to day
And the breeze deems your happiness a passing phase
There's lies and pain and a whole lot more when you’re sitting on the old dark shore

Where the dead dance on
The demons live among
Every path is a razor you are dragged upon
All sweet music is a siren’s song and you can't steer the ship that you’re on

Where the birds don't fly and the fish don't swim
Every thought is a bubble you are trapped within
Where strictly forbidden are grinning and whims
When you’re sitting on the old dark shore

There's a place where every mirror reflects another lonely soul
A stale old state where you can't hold your own
If you wake up weary with a blank-eyed stare
You can just sprout roots and grow right out of there
You can get out but you gotta open the door
When you’re sitting on the old dark shore
