lyrics

Lyrics:

I’m going down to the river
To collect my thoughts
Go lie on the rocks
So I can feel lost

Everything has changed since you left
Now I’m trying to be the same
But it’s hard when the person you love
suddenly is facing death

Everyone is wearing black and crying
As we overlook your dead rotting body
I wanna go home and forget that
You were once able-bodied

Your gone but the pain stays
Old photographs are all that remain
And the memories of the old days
When you said we’d meet again some day

Is this a bad dream
Or is it really this messed up
You’re making me wanna scream

Running fast from my thoughts
It’ll all catch up to me if I stop
But I’ll inevitably trip and get caught
Where I’ll meet my final resting spot

I’m stuck in a haze
Thinking about you
Why’d you have to leave
So soon

Did you really think what you did was smart
Did you really think it’d be a good start
Did you really have to do this to me
Because now you got me
Falling apart

Is this a bad dream
Or is it really this messed up
You’re making me wanna scream

Running fast from my thoughts
It’ll all catch up to me if I stop
But I’ll inevitably trip and get caught
Where I’ll meet my final resting spot

You got me falling apart
Just thinking about you
You got me falling apart
Just thinking about you
Is there anything I could do
Is there anything I could do to help you
Is there anything I could do to make things different
Because thinking about it now
Is pretty fucked up isn’t it

Running fast from my thoughts
It’ll all catch up to me if I stop
But I’ll inevitably trip and get caught
Where I’ll meet my final resting spot
Running fast from my thoughts
It’ll all catch up to me if I stop
But I’ll inevitably trip and get caught
Where I’ll meet my final resting spot
