Let The River In lyrics

You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricks

I've seen you watching

I've seen you drifting away

I've seen you floating along

I've seen you disappear

Now, there ain't a cloud in sight

And through the snow and the branches

I can count all your teeth

Yeah I can count all your teeth

Now the bed's on fire and the ceiling's gone

And your mom and dad still sing the same old song

Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend

Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend

But now you're drifting away

Now you're floating along

And soon you'll disappear

I closed my eyes and saw my father's sins

They covered me like a second skin

I peeled them off, and sure I bled a bit

But now I'm free to sink my own damn ship

I cut my branch down from my family tree

To start a fire in the living room

Now the house is just ash, this time it's sink or swim

Let the river in

If blood is thicker than water

Then let the river in

We might drift a ways, but we've got thick skin

Let the river in

If blood is thicker than water

Then let the river in

We might drift a ways, but we'll find our way again
