I remember the bathroom door was framed by a light shining from beyond it

And I heard the sound of crying but it didn't make me sad

Because I knew whatever choice we made the resolution wouldn't differ

And I didn't have control but it didn't make me mad

It's the ending of a prophecy foretold minutes before

by an orchestra of tranquil playing a serene chord

sending me a message I wasn't listening for

telling me to open that light-enveloped door

A ****** river pierces through
The raw heart of society
Inflicting souls of blooming youth
With socialized propriety

In the core of suburbia
The river flows along the roads
It runs into the neighborhoods
And out the faucets of their homes

What awaits at the river’s mouth
Is a mindless understanding
“Conform or be confused,” it roars
“And live on forever thirsty”

Most children of the world
Are begging for a drink
But some know the river’s tide
It controls what you think

To the conscious youth there lies a choice
To be lonely but be free
Or let the river erode your mind
And be carried out to sea

It’s dim enough to look
the sunrise in the eye
because after a long night of hoping
for a glimpse of the cosmos
the clouds finally just begin to recede
After hidden stars hide once more
only now does my spite melt away
under the glow of a new day
