Embrace the river Let it wash away your pain Watch the water quiver It's all the same The liquid burns yet soothes As your feet touch the bottom, it appears smooth Just like glass, oh the very glass that breaks with silence The relief comes to you in painted skies If it can penetrate your glazed over eyes Turn your eyes within Tell me what you see... Can you? Can you even begin? Work your way through the thorns Find the beast and grab it by the horns Inner peace is only skin deep So go now, to the river; of yourself Make your soul shiver Baby, this is only skin deep You may be covered in scars But they tell a story Self portrait on the flesh Telling us of passion and loss of glory But the light is searching, forever searching For any hope you have left Embrace the mirror, look at yourself You are Invincible at best Water always flows, never stable It comes and goes Such as the turmoil within Escalated by the touch of anothers skin Souls mesh and become one Even if they are gone, the bond is never undone Paint all of this, so one day, your legacy we be remembered And when you feel the cold, it is your own December Turn your eyes within Tell me what you see... Can you? Can you even begin? Work your way through the thorns Find the beast and grab it by the horns Inner peace is only skin deep So go now, to the river; of yourself Make your soul shiver Baby, this is only skin deep The stars fall from the skies Leaving only their lines behind Maybe it's a map, a map to heaven Or perhaps a blueprint for Armageddon We'll never know Go to you internal river, your place of zen Find your inner peace, and then begin We will never know... What is the meaning of life? All I know, is I haven't won... Until I can take my own advice Inner peace is only skin deep The stars fall from the skies Leaving only their lines behind Maybe it's a map, a map to heaven Or perhaps a blueprint for Armageddon We will never know... Go to you internal river, your place of zen Find your inner peace, and then begin

The River
Embrace the river Let it wash away your pain Watch the water quiver It's all the same The liquid burns yet soothes As your feet touch the bottom, it appears smooth Just like glass, oh the very glass that breaks with silence The relief comes to you in painted skies If it can penetrate your glazed over eyes Turn your eyes within Tell me what you see... Can you? Can you even begin? Work your way through the thorns Find the beast and grab it by the horns Inner peace is only skin deep So go now, to the river; of yourself Make your soul shiver Baby, this is only skin deep You may be covered in scars But they tell a story Self portrait on the flesh Telling us of passion and loss of glory But the light is searching, forever searching For any hope you have left Embrace the mirror, look at yourself You are Invincible at best Water always flows, never stable It comes and goes Such as the turmoil within Escalated by the touch of anothers skin Souls mesh and become one Even if they are gone, the bond is never undone Paint all of this, so one day, your legacy we be remembered And when you feel the cold, it is your own December Turn your eyes within Tell me what you see... Can you? Can you even begin? Work your way through the thorns Find the beast and grab it by the horns Inner peace is only skin deep So go now, to the river; of yourself Make your soul shiver Baby, this is only skin deep The stars fall from the skies Leaving only their lines behind Maybe it's a map, a map to heaven Or perhaps a blueprint for Armageddon We'll never know Go to you internal river, your place of zen Find your inner peace, and then begin We will never know... What is the meaning of life? All I know, is I haven't won... Until I can take my own advice Inner peace is only skin deep The stars fall from the skies Leaving only their lines behind Maybe it's a map, a map to heaven Or perhaps a blueprint for Armageddon We will never know... Go to you internal river, your place of zen Find your inner peace, and then begin
