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
