The River
Lyrics
Who I am hides behind
Our illusions of potential
And who I’ve been is hard to find
Cuz he’s still searching for credentials
Buried deep always drowning
Like the stones beneath the river
I am cold slowly counting
Different ways to burn these pictures
And we are young until tomorrow
Death will call me when he needs me
Hold your lungs but I won’t follow
Seems that life was never easy
Buried deep always drowning
Like the stones beneath the river
I am cold slowly counting
Different ways to burn these pictures
Called for the man in the glass, for a face not a mask
Everybody I know, everybody but me
Let the water lead home, tell the river I’ve known
How to swim but I’ll drown on my own
I know everybody but me
And the man that I believe to be, don’t believe in me
If fate never finds me let pain learn to guide me
And fallen reminds me that time burns behind me
Should we fail burn the truth
Let’s deny our limitations
Should we fail let’s blame our youth
And let’s design our next creation
Buried deep but i’ll survive
I’m still alive inside my coffin
Incomplete, me and I’ve
Been talking ever so damn often
Called for the man in the glass, for a face not a mask
Everybody I know, everybody but me
Let the water lead home, tell the river I’ve known
How to swim but I’ll drown on my own
I know everybody but me
And the man that I believe to be, don’t believe in me
If fate never finds me let pain learn to guide me
And fallen reminds me that time burns behind me
Excuse my excuses my reasons are lost
And just say goodbye to alibis
I’m tryna find how not to lie
We wade in this water like nothing is wrong
But the truth is I’m flawed
I pretend that I’m strong
And I’m losing direction we can’t swim forever
Let go of your demons or drown our endeavor
May love last for never, may life damn the sinner
We jumped off the edge but we land in the river
Called for the man in the glass, for a face not a mask
Everybody I know, everybody but me
Let the water lead home, tell the river I’ve known
How to swim but I’ll drown on my own
I know everybody but me
And the man that I believe to be, don’t believe in me
If fate never finds me let pain learn to guide me
And fallen reminds me that time burns behind me
