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
