Down the River Lyrics

A surface level side of me

The only thing I cannot see

There is no elasticity

A poorly toned absurdity

Foreboding thunder all around

I can't make out a single sound

Without a care, without a word

Self-evident, self-unassured

An X marks a malignant spot

The treasure is a city's rot

So I'll sell myself down the river

Though I can't tell where it'll go

But I'll kill myself if I stay here

So I guess I'll shut up and go

So I'll sell myself down the river

Though I can't tell where it'll go

But I'll kill myself if I stay here

So I guess I'll shut up and go

A dying lion hunts small prey

And in the end they get away

The sinking ship's inflammable

A power house has been bulldozed

The waste water's tainted cyan

Reflects back all I fear I am

I'm stuck inside a bear traps' teeth

I'll chew my leg off to break free

So I'll sell myself down the river

Though I can't tell where it'll go

But I'll kill myself if I stay here

So I guess I'll shut up and go

So I'll sell myself down the river

Though I can't tell where it'll go

But I'll kill myself if I stay here

So I guess I'll shut up and go

The waste water's tainted cyan

Reflects back what I fear I am

I'm stuck inside a bear traps' teeth

I'll chew my leg off to break free

So I'll sell myself down the river

Though I can't tell where it'll go

But I'll kill myself if I stay here

So I guess I'll shut up and go

So I'll sell myself down the river

Though I can't tell where it'll go

But I'll kill myself if I stay here

So I guess I'll shut up and go
