Down the River

Falling tears

Flowing like a heavy river ever so tender

Walking wild

Through the wreck of our afternoon

Heavy hands

Hanging low

You let it go

You let it go

Tides are pulling where I stand

Choices scattered like the sand

Waiting for the rush to end

Down the river

Lost forever

Drowning drowning

Gone forever

Down the river

Lost forever

Drowning drowning

Gone forever

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Skin

Tight

Holding onto ghosts of us

Dirty promises

Rotting in the summer dust

Maybe I stay

Maybe I break

Maybe I wake

Searching for a reason not to trust

Falling further from your name

Swept away

Never the same

Waiting for the rush to end

Down the river

Lost forever

Drowning drowning

Gone forever

Down the river

Lost forever

Drowning drowning

Gone forever

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Shadows drift beneath my skin

Trying hard to learn to swim

Every memory drags me down

But I refuse to let me drown

I won't go under

I won't go under

Down the river

Lost forever

Drowning drowning

Gone forever

Down the river

Lost forever

Drowning drowning

Gone forever

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Lift my head into the night

Cold and empty

Fading light

If I reach the other side

Will I find

What is left behind

What is left behind
