"down to the river" lyrics

"down to the river"

Oh, I've got one foot on solid ground
And I'm losing the other one in quick sand
Cus my strength can't pull it out
Now there's nothing left to do
Cus my weight starting shifting from all the decisions
That lead me up to this moment right now
And my will's growing weaker as I'm sinking deeper
In a place that I just want to get out

So take me down to the river and repair my soul
My faith is broken and I just wanna let it go
And everything inside me's saying no no no
Nobody no nobody
Can pull me out of the shadows and restore my sight
Cus I'm a dead man walking and I'm questioning the light
And nobody no nobody no nobody
Is coming for me now

I was raised in the graveyard of broken promises left for dead
I'd shout them from the mountain tops then drown them in the river bed
To conceal the evidence of all my righteous failed attempts
The things I have never been are haunting me at night
Cus now I hate who I am but I don't like who I was
Oh God, won't you save me from this mess that I feel destined to become now
I'm on the run now
A fugitive that somehow
Dried out in the fall out

So take me down to the river and repair my soul
My faith is broken and I just wanna let it go
And everything inside me's saying no no no
Nobody no nobody
Can pull me out of the shadows and restore my sight
Cus I'm a dead man walking and I'm questioning the light
And nobody no nobody no nobody
Is coming for me now

So take me down to the river and repair my soul
My faith is broken and I just wanna let it go
And everything inside me says no no
So can you pull me out of the shadows and restore my sight
Cus I'm a dead man walking and I'm questioning the light
And nobody no nobody no nobody
Is coming for me now
