Blue River

Blue River flows in me through thickened nerves
Blue River torments me, untouched by love
I'm taunted by its dark and stealthy flow
In its depths of discard I'll drown below

Blue River tears my flesh and bars my soul
Blue River feeds me trash to win control
Like a captured con with a ball and rusty chain
I've no fight left for there's nothing more to gain

You've got a hold on me, Blue River
Now I ain't free, I believed her
She led me up her stream
So cunning in her schemes
Now I am a misled, wasted, broken man

A broken man can't rise from endless turns
He learns to despise but can't discern
What's good or what's bad, what's running deep
All he knows there's one place for him to weep

No prayers for me, no please, cause I lost God
A dagger in her back that's what she bought
The hangman's noose was banned since ninety-two
Now I rot in Blue River like I should

You've got a hold on me, Blue River
Now I ain't free, I believed her
She led me up her stream
So cunning in her schemes
Now I am a misled, wasted, broken man
Now I am a misled, wasted, broken man
