River Of Sins

Days are shrivelling up inside
The nights are memories divine
I look to the east and what do I see
A mirror pointed right at me

There is my level playing ground
It's tilting up with leaps and bounds
There's that medal I never wore
I didn't earn it, left me sore

But in the end
You my friend
Persevere
Over the ones who lent
You the cape
Of privilege
And yet you say
You earned it yourself

Enchanted dreams are my curse
I live it for better or for worse
Carry me above the flame
Yet I wet you with yellow rain

Singing songs of glory by
None of which is mine to lie
A tree with every root intact
Yet the leaf on top collapses

But in the end
You my friend
Persevere
Over the ones who lent
You the cape
Of privilege
And yet you say
You earned it yourself

Starts shining oh so bright
I look up but all I see is light
All around me the wealth of those
That lay six feet under the prose

I do not dare look down
The children sleep without a sound
Upon their faces stomps of dust
The dust from footprints turn to rust

But in the end
You my friend
Persevere
Over the ones who lent
You the cape
Of privilege
And yet you say
You earned it yourself

I am the river of your sins
Just pick me up and pour me in
I am the river of your sins
Just pick me up and pour me in
I am the river of your sins
Just pick me up and pour me in
I am the river of your sins
Just pick me up and pour me in
I am the river of your sins
Just pick me up and pour me in
I am the river of your sins
Just pick me up and pour me in
I am the river of your sins
Just pick me up and pour me in
I am the river of your sins
Just pick me up and pour me in
