The river is all I know
It constantly ebbs and flows
It's never the same step twice
It's changing as time floats by
I feel a hundred thousand things
In every minute
The sun sets in western skies
The clock is always ticking
And rain pours down
And people drown
They drown in their thoughts
Of being alone
I'm no different
What do I know
The river is all I know
The ocean is too damn big
It has most of everything
There's too much left to explore
And we've yet to touch its floor
I feel a hundred thousand things
In every minute
The sun sets in western skies
The clock is always ticking
And rain pours down
And people drown
They drown in their thoughts
It's overwhelming
I'm no different
What do I think
The ocean is too damn big
The lakefront's a bit decayed
It's seen some better days
My feet dangle off the pier
There's peace and stillness here
But rain pours down
And people drown
They drown in their thoughts
They push them away
I'm no different
What can I say
The lakefront's a bit decayed
Currents of waters fail
And dams will break
In an exhale
I've stopped swimming upstream
I've since let go
And I feel free
I feel different
I feel at home
I feel casually vulnerable
The river is all I know
The ocean is too damn big
And the lakefront's a bit decayed
The river is all I know
