Stood next to the river
As the sky grew black
Felt icy water in my fingers
Wondered if I wanted to turn back

Some kinda numbness
Filled up my empty soul
As all those dark trees and branches
Rattled in the cold

If I turn back now
Yeah, the sun’s gonna rise
But I’ll still be dyin’
My bones freezin’ up inside

There’s a peaceful kind of fear
In knowing you’re alone
No one’s gonna cry for you
When you don’t come home
And all that black water
It’d swallow you whole
And as the fish plucked out your eyes
You’d be still as a ******’ stone

If I turn back now
Yeah, the sun’s gonna rise
But it’s not like
I can turn back time
And I’m already floating
Through this empty life
Envisioned as a darker song, still unfinished
