A River Runs Around Him ft Bradley AJ

from The Braid Remains by Shibastik

/

lyrics

The sun is low and dim...
His back to the glow... A Thin
Line between the shore and him...
Too heavy to float and swim... /
So all alone he’s been
On a solid stone feeling so
Cold and hollow, soaked within...
Stuck in the open wind... //
It’s like his home just
So far away it don’t exist...
Searching for a hope that lives
Somewhere inside the lonely mist... /
No longer safe in this
Place where he chose to sit...
He built a dam to stop the waves
But they’ve broken it... //
Now they’re coming all at once..
He knows they’re going to hit /
Hard... He’s gotta roll with it or drown...
There’s no boat... but wait... /
Feels the pain lift... Decaying leaves drift away...
Sees it’s not as deep as he thought...
And he begins to wade… //
