YOUR RIVER - song

YOUR RIVER


You hate yourself and you hate your life
but not half as much as you hate me
The scapegoat for your problems
I am forced to live alone
and watch you slowly waste away

Because you have
no
shoulder to lean back upon
When things get out of hand to
fill you up, understand you
Be your hero

You ally yourself with
superficial strangers
who pretend to have control
but can never mend your soul
Like I do
Let go
And I will too

Lay outside in the storm
Grey skies roaring laughter
Freight train blowing in the distance
approaching

Call out to the whirlwind fury
Help is on the way, but no one comes
You know they’ll save themselves
And leave you to die

As your hope
Dissolves
You’ll pray unto the stars
For their mercy on this cold, cold night
And you’ll wish into the past
How you tossed my love aside
For the others who lied
Then forgot about me

Only I can save you now
If only I could save you now
But you pushed and pushed and pushed
Now I’m too far away to hear you calling

As I watch your body die
A tear falls from my eye

A rose grew in the fields
Of weeds and dandelions
So beautiful the pollen
But now the rose has fallen
And has withered away

As I watch your petals weep
A tear rolls down my cheek
It leaves
A stream
Of you
