Pallbearer - Riverbed

Lyrics to Riverbed by Pallbearer

I wore away, as years washed by Like a stone in any riverbed to find But I am flesh and bone, awaiting peace of mind I've lost myself in thoughts of days behind Distant memories Form constellations of despair Guiding through the state of disrepair Illuminate All the hurts that have accrued Unlock the cage, holding back the truth I'll beg to start anew If it will cauterize the wounds Damn these rivers of bad blood And quell the raging of the flood Worn away, the years crawl by As arbors wither slow, becoming deserts, dry Along with flesh and bone, beset on every day By misery, borne within the mind Distant silhouettes Nearly all of them obscured Exposed to be The damages incurred I'll beg to start anew If it will cauterize the wounds Damn these rivers of bad blood And quell the raging of the flood Laying down in the riverbed Counting the words that I've never said to you Their numbers swell so far above my head Wide-open eyes drink in torrential red As I drown
