Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I'm torn between myself and your truth

These cursed memories, forever seeping through

My thirst for myself left me wanting more

Till I found myself face down on your shore


You say, come to the river

Oh, and lay yourself down and let your heart be found

You say come to the river

Drink from the cup I pour and thirst no more


My restless heart, led me astray

To my selfish pride I became my own slave

But you placed a thirst in me with no drink in sight

'Cause I could not see till I saw through your eyes
