River Lyrics by IRYS (Berlin)

2021

[Verse 1]
Off my back
What you're gonna be?
Grind it out
What you wanna be?
Life, we're mourning the lights
The dark is crawling down the roof
And into our nights
And all the noise that held me down
Eat up my soul
Lies that you told
Are becoming my home

[Chorus]
My mind, I cannot see the sun
Hold on, or has it just begun?
On fire, I just killed my pride
For you, you can't see me shine
So vain, was just wasting time
With you, can't see those warning signs
Gone cold, you do not have my back
I hold you, you hold me back

[Verse 1]
Off my back
What you're gonna be?
Grind it out
What you wanna be?
Life, we're mourning the lights
The dark is crawling down the roof
And into our nights
And all the noise that held me down
Eat up my soul
Lies that you told
Are becoming my home

[Chorus]
My mind, I cannot see the sun
Hold on, or has it just begun?
On fire, I just killed my pride
For you, you can't see me shine
So vain, was just wasting time
With you, can't see those warning signs
Gone cold, you do not have my back
I hold you, you hold me back

[Chorus]
My mind, I cannot see the sun
Hold on, or has it just begun?
On fire, I just killed my pride
For you, you can't see me shine
So vain, was just wasting time
With you, can't see those warning signs
Gone cold, you do not have my back
I hold you, you hold me back
