Boy and the River

will you sew the seed for me and will you teach me to believe

will you answer for the blood, guide me through this painful flood

this wide eyed view I've taken has left me more than shaken

I feel that I've been asleep for years

and will you hold me steady until I'm sure I'm ready to bleed it

can you purge me of this disease and lift me from my weakened knees

they let me believe that I was strong

spoonfed lies all along
