The River

I threw a rock in the river
I watched as it thrashed
Tossed around
Until its edges were rounded out
And it sunk to the bottom
Breathing water as its friend
It seems so easy just to breathe in

On my shoulder my devil says I should give in
Let the river consume me
Fill my lungs and let the pain win
I spent the last year wishing I was dead
Don't you think the waters a poetic end?
Going nowhere I'll never amount to a thing
Like the last bird of a species
To nobody I sing
When a tree falls with no witness
Does it make a sound
Will anybody hear me when I hit the ground?

I threw a rock in the river
All it did was sink
Pebbles shifted around
Motionless until the current turned it to ground
I tend to visit that place now

On my shoulder my devil says I should give in
Let the river consume me
Fill my lungs and let the pain win
I spent the last year wishing I was dead
I only see the end
Going nowhere I'll never amount to a thing
Like the last bird of a species
To nobody I sing
When a tree falls with no witness
Does it make a sound
Will I ever make a sound?
Will I ever make a sound?

Every single day
A routine on replay
Lens of only gray
Throw it all away
Every single day
A routine on replay
A lens of only gray
Throw it all away
Away
Throw it all away
Throw it all away
Throw it all-
