lyrics

Verse1:
Our eyes are dark
We’ve lost our sense of wonder
Maybe if we turned off these lights
We’d see the stars again

Verse2:
We’d drive for miles
To get away from this noise
But we’ll never be free from these voices in our heads

Chorus1:
You said meet Me by the shore
Don’t look at your neighbor beside you
It’s you and I alone
This story is your own
Leave your world beneath the waves as you
rise above the surface

Verse3:
Our souls are trapped
Inside a mess of skin and bones
The only way to freedom is death to ourselves

Verse4:
So take a breath
And take a walk to the river
Put both feet in the water and be swept away

Chorus2:
I don’t know
If I will end up on dry ground again
I don’t know
And I don’t mind if I’ll never be the same again
If I’ll never be the same again

Bridge:
Come to the river, Come to the river
Come to the river, Come to the river
Come to the river, Come to the river
