Let The River In
You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricksI've seen you watchingI've seen you drifting awayI've seen you floating alongI've seen you disappear
Now, there ain't a cloud in sightAnd through the snow and the branchesI can count all your teethYeah I can count all your teethNow the bed's on fire and the ceiling's goneAnd your mom and dad still sing the same old songDon't scare me off now, I'm your only friendDon't scare me off now, I'm your only friend
But now you're drifting awayNow you're floating alongAnd soon you'll disappear
I closed my eyes and saw my father's sinsThey covered me like a second skinI peeled them off, and sure I bled a bitBut now I'm free to sink my own damn shipI cut my branch down from my family treeTo start a fire in the living roomNow the house is just ash, this time it's sink or swim
Let the river inIf blood is thicker than waterThen let the river inWe might drift a ways, but we've got thick skin
Let the river inIf blood is thicker than waterThen let the river inWe might drift a ways, but we'll find our way again
