Stare at a picture

But there's nothing for it

I pull on the bottle

And watch this river

Roll on by

Trying to find purpose

Trying to see meaning

Trying to make sense of

The nonsense I call my life

Cause only this river

Can bare me to safety

Only this river

Can bare me away

Mmmhmmm

See them all work and play

There on the other bank

Warm in their houses

While I face

My cold alone

Guess I've been drinking away

To keep the wolves of my mind at bay

But if you run

You die

I'm just to tired to care

Cause only this river

Can bare me to safety

Only this river

Can bare me away

I feel her flowing

Flowing right through me

I hear the whispsers

Drowning my words

Mmm

Cause only this river

Only this river

Only this river

Can save me

From myself

Where did my soul go?

Where did my spirit hide?

Why won't they rescue me

From the pain of the mind

Cause only this river

In all of her glory

Only this river

Can bare me away

Only this river

Only this river

Only this river

Mmmhmm
