lyrics

Never knew where this river did run and bend
 I was tossing rocks when I was only ten  
What did you imagine?
I imagined far away lands  
With beaches and jungles through the mist
But if I can dream it, then it must exist  
Could you imagine?
Like footprints in the sand

 The ground calls out for every soul
with every life that’s born another one’s stolen away  
What I leave behind
just failures and constructs  
What I leave behind
or moments of awestruck  
What I leave behind
Fear is a constant to defy
 Defenses are high, it’s all inside, so just

CHORUS
Pull me out  
Come on just pull me out
I can’t go on  
Living inside my head, come on just pull me out

 At some point you learn a little bit of how this works
The rocks I pile only make it worse  
Well what did you imagine?
Starting over somehow
Building bridges, burning bridges  
The same old cycle of tears after so many years
You couldn’t imagine
I thought I’d be better by now

But the river turns and changes course  
And we drift so far away just from the force
 What I leave behind
all my token regrets, or
 What I leave behind
just a collection of assets
 What I leave behind
the moss and water continue to grow around the rocks I throw
but I know you can

CHORUS

 I need a connection  
Just an intersection is all it takes  
It bends and it bends and it breaks
 I don’t know where I’m going
 I can’t stop this slowing, I’m gonna drown
 Or I’m gonna break this God damn dam down

CHORUS

What I leave behind
