The River Runs Dry

A moment’s passed, time left in its wake
The flowing steam holding me down, and I ache
You built up walls
Can’t see the sky
All color is drained when the river runs dry
The stones erode away
In the end

So like a snake hidden away in grass
You fought for the right to be cruel
Pretend that you stand
Above us all, we wait for you to judge our sins
I won’t listen anymore

They’ll leave you here
Once you’ve crossed their line
They have no qualms about leaving you behind

The seeds they buried in the sand
Were all but poison to the soil
Withered away, nothing more

No dissent now
A single mind
A mission that leaves our humanity behind
Against all of the lies
I’ll remain

So like a snake hidden away in grass
You fought for the right to be cruel
Pretend that you stand
Above us all, we wait for you to judge our sins
I won’t listen anymore

So like a snake hidden away in grass
You fought for the right to be cruel
Pretend that you stand
Above us all, we wait for you to judge our sins
I won’t listen anymore
I won’t listen anymore
