On The Shore Lyrics - Generation Doom - 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 

You can sleep tonight 

On the shore 

Beneath a gentle sky 

Sleep well 

You can sleep tonight 

On the shore 

Beneath an empty sky (beneath a gentle 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
