Once I started a fire i believed was just a joke
But the flames kept getting higher till my life was up in smoke
So went down to the river
I fell on my knees
I said i feel so bad i just can't breathe
But the old dirty river never said a word
I was lonely as a leper i was broke and i was blind
And the night went on forever like a black hole in my mind
So went down to the river
I fell on my knees
I said there's something deep inside that needs release
But the old dirty river never said a word
