"Push The River" lyrics

"Push The River"

I no longer feel the pull and pressure
To labor in vain until I bleed
No reason left to push the river
I'm free to let the current carry me

I am only outrunning myself
I am only outrunning myself

This maddening unknown
It's worthless to my bones
We hold up the weight that could bring down the world
Maybe it's time we finally let go
Let go

I have found salvation in surrender
The maintenance of which now brings me peace
I don't need to pray upon a fallen star
To recognize the light in front of me

I am only outrunning myself
I am only outrunning myself

This maddening unknown
Is worthless to my bones
We hold up the weight that could bring down the world
Maybe it's time we finally let go
Let go

I keep silent for the lake which calls my name
Lastly concede to the rust in the rain
Against my will, the fire will burn
Everything quiet now, I've returned

This maddening unknown
It's worthless to my bones
We hold up the weight that could bring down the world
Maybe it's time we finally let go
Let go

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
