Let The River In

You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricks

I've seen you watching

I've seen you drifting away

Seen you falling along

I've seen you disappear

There ain't a cloud in sight

Look 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

Now you're drifting away

Now you're falling along

I've seen you 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 it in

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

I cut the bridge down from my family tree

To start a fire in the middle

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

Let the river in

If blood is thicker than water

Then let the river in

We might drift away, but we've got thick skin

Let the river in

If blood is thicker than water

Then let the river in

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