From the recording This Cold Desire
Lyrics
RIVER AND STONE
Everyday same excuse, nothing does change with you
nothing does
Everyday all I see, nothing does change with me
nothing does
all that we long to be rushes right past us
some call it destiny, the way we dig our heals
What are you thinking, the clouds and the drinking?
I don't have a clue
why am I trying, there's one of us lying
and I don't think it's you
all that we long to be, is somebody laughing?
I really had no idea, no idea what I signed
There's a stone that I've seen bleed composed of iron
like you and me
and a river where the stone's blood runs
as if the river and stone were one
our river seems so alien,
this thing we do not flow within
we struggle while she pulls at us
as if we think we could resist
as if alone we could exist
Time is forever but also it's never
and nothing between
the moments we steal and the moments we kill
don't add up to a thing
all that we long to be and what we're afraid of
meet in this no-man's land
pointed guns broken vows
There's a stone that I've seen bleed composed of iron
like you and me
and a river where the stone's blood runs
as if the river and stone were one
our river seems so alien,
this thing we do not flow within
we struggle while she pulls at us
as if we think we could resist
as if alone we could exist
