My Heart's a Lonesome Island

My heart's a lonesome island

Disaster lines it's shipwrecked shore

A fleet of souls that thought they'd found

What they'd been searchiing for

 

But your treasure maps were lying

There's nothing gold beneath my sand

Don't let the sea convince you

That its safer on my land

 

You might be a skillful sailor

With nothing but the purest aim

But I have fought so many pirates

That you now all look the same

 

So, take heed of my lighthouse

Even waves break on my rocks

There's a reason not a single ship

Has made it to my docks

 

And I wish I could offer shelter

From those storm clouds in my sky

Because you've not made it ashore

But you should know, neither have I.
