lyrics

I've been holding onto the bed,
I think it's time to get out of my head.
I tried to hold on,
but if the river flows that way
why would I remain?

Carry me there,
I hope it's somewhere!

I release and fly through the blues,
on my apathetic river cruise.
What wonders await?
And if I die by waterfall,
I'll say "Thank you! That is all!"

Carry me there,
I hope it's somewhere!

What a dream,
Idly floating down a gentle stream,
feels better than just festering.
Fighting back the current like that was improving my art, but

Everything,
once you give up every little thing,
In exchange you get your liberty,
that propels you through the endless, crazy stream of fear and love.

I've been holding onto the bed,
I think it's time to get out of my head.
I tried to hold on,
but if the river flows that way
why would I remain?

Carry me there,
I hope it's somewhere!

I release and fly through the blues,
on my apathetic river cruise.
What wonders await?

And if the current takes me under,
I'll hold my breath and wonder
when I'll float back to the surface.
