Elsinore

Got the notice this morning,

Left me numb

You wanna shake your mind up

I want a change of scene



My face was a thousand

Shades of red

And I'll paint me a new backdrop

So we all blend in

I can still feel desire

As the cornerstone caves in



My stomach was reeling 

(my stomach was reeling)

To the maritime

We'll look for peace of mind in the dark

Horizontal lines



And I saw that your finger

(your fingers were bleeding)

was bleeding dry

(coulda been more kind)

and I could have been a bit more kind

to your malady



I can still be reminded not to take so thoughtlessly



because

I'm stuck on the rainy side of Elsinore, 

Picking fights and talking back

And I just wanna hold you tight

And listen long 

All the strength of your quiet side



Out in the stairwell three flights down

I can hear the echo of the sound of water 

My will breaking down



Well I missed it the first time,

Like the willing blind

Yeah I had my eyes glued shut,

My fist balled up tight

But I'm willing to open

Turn my song around, yeah

Time is getting wise to my ways

Maybe you'll understand



I'm stuck on the rainy side of Elsinore, 

Picking fights and talking back

And I just wanna hold you tight

And listen long 

All the strength of your quiet side

I'm stuck on the rainy side
