Lyrics

I threw a rock in the river I watched as it thrashed Tossed around Until its edges were rounded out And it sunk to the bottom Breathing water as its friend It seems so easy just to breathe in On my shoulder my devil says I should give in Let the river consume me Fill my lungs and let the pain win I spent the last year wishing I was dead Don't you think the waters a poetic end? Going nowhere I'll never amount to a thing Like the last bird of a species To nobody I sing When a tree falls with no witness Does it make a sound Will anybody hear me when I hit the ground? I threw a rock in the river All it did was sink Pebbles shifted around Motionless until the current turned it to ground I tend to visit that place now On my shoulder my devil says I should give in Let the river consume me Fill my lungs and let the pain win I spent the last year wishing I was dead I only see the end Going nowhere I'll never amount to a thing Like the last bird of a species To nobody I sing When a tree falls with no witness Does it make a sound Will I ever make a sound? Will I ever make a sound? Every single day A routine on replay Lens of only gray Throw it all away Every single day A routine on replay A lens of only gray Throw it all away Away Throw it all away Throw it all away Throw it all-
