|
Along the edge of the mississippi |
|
A thousand hearts bleed |
|
My heart looking for something to execute |
|
In the mississippi |
|
Up against its current |
|
My heart so alive |
|
Submerged in the [?] dark |
|
Who could hold me here |
|
Who could hold me down |
|
Sitting on the edge of the mississippi |
|
River of slaves |
|
River of bones |
|
I have been down here |
|
Across generations |
|
A lifetimes ago |
|
I was sold amongst the thieves |
|
I don't ignore the cries |
|
I hear them |
|
I am conscious along the mississippi |
|
I hear the footsteps of ghosts |
|
I hear them scream behind me |
|
I see their boats sink |
|
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin |
|
But I am very alive |
|
She draws me to her breath |
|
She whispers with her voice |
|
Her comfort is all |
|
I want or need |
|
Alone on saturday night |
|
Me and the mississippi |
|
Two rivers flowing together |
|
Flowing internal |
|
A river of darkness |
|
A river of light |
|
Blend as one |
|
Together against the impossible |
|
Ends we face |
|
Our lunatic charm |
|
She can never claim me |
|
Nor I her |
|
We flow together eternal |
|
We flow together as one |
|
And I am the mississippi |
