Rivers Run

(Album: Versus - 2008)

Well, the same dull darkened rain keeps coming down
Whisper little secrets to spite this little mind
See the sunlight in McAllen, TX burns my skin in Rome
Salt on my lips
Cracks in the pavement
Are we going blind, or is there something I've been missing?
Black coffee, somehow soothing, no matter where I go

Well, there's no place to hide
There's no shelter so far away
All rivers end in the same sea

Petty thieves
All hail, the one percent with a bullwhip résumé
Die slowly, in weeping misery
And drape the bitch in a steel plate eulogy

Skull and bones, no hope
Burning fields and the dead game is up and go
All my life I wanted something right
But today sure ain't my time to shine

It's all falling to pieces but you know

There's no place to hide
Ain't no shelter so far away
And all rivers end in the same cold lake

You came so close you'll never know
