lonesome island...

my heart's a lonesome island
disaster lines its shipwrecked shore
a fleet of souls that thought they'd found
what they'd been searching for
but your treasure maps were lying
there's nothing gold beneath my sand
don't let the sea convince you
that it's 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 all now look the same
so take heed of my lighthouse
even waves may 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.
