down to the river Lyrics

Oh I've got one foot on solid ground

And I'm losing the other one in quicksand

Cus my strength can't pull it out

Now there's nothing left to do

Cus my weight starting shifting from all the decisions

That led me up to this moment right now

But my will's growing weaker

As I'm sinking deeper

In a place that I just want to get out

So take me down to the river

And repair my soul

My faith is broken and I

Just wanna let it go

And everything inside me's saying no no no

Nobody no nobody

Can pull me out of the shadows

And restore my sight

Cus I'm a dead man walking and I'm questioning the light

And nobody no nobody no nobody

Is coming for me now

I was raised in the graveyard of broken promises

Left for dead

I'd shout them from the mountain tops

Then drown them in the river bed

To conceal the evidence

Of all my righteous failed attempts

The things I have never been

Are haunting me at night

Cus now I hate who I am

But I don't like who I was

Oh God won't you save me from this mess

That I feel destined to become now

I'm on the run now

A fugitive that somehow

Dried out in the fall out

So take me down to the river

And repair my soul

My faith is broken and I

Just wanna let it go

And everything inside me's saying no no no

Nobody no nobody

Can pull me out of the shadows

And restore my sight

Cus I'm a dead man walking and I'm questioning the light

And nobody no nobody no nobody

Is coming for me now

Take me down to the river

And repair my soul

My faith is broken and I

Just wanna let it go

But everything inside me says no no

So can you pull me out

Of the Shadows

And restore my sight

Cus I'm a dead man walking

And I'm questioning the light

And nobody no nobody no nobody

Cus now I hate who I am

But I don't like who I was

Oh God won't you save me

From this mess that I feel destined to become now

I'm on the run now

A fugitive that somehow

Still keeps

Haunting me at night
