Down to the River Lyrics

Oh I've got one foot on solid ground

And I'm losing the other one in quick sand

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 lead me up to this moment right now

And 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 everthing 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 everthing 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

So take me down to the river and repair my soul

My faith is broken and I just wanna let it go

And everthing inside me's saying no 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
