Down by the River

In the midnight's grip, I hear the call
Whispers in the dark that echo through it all
Down by the river, where shadows intertwine
Lost in a dream, where the light won't shine

I see a figure creep, a silhouette that glows
Pulling me closer, where the wild wind blows
Rivers run deep, but this one feels like sin
Every night I wake, feeling pulled back in

Take me, take me, oh shadow in disguise
Trying to drown me in your hollow lies
Down by the river, where the secrets hide
I'm screaming for freedom, but you know I can't fight

Faces in the waters, reflections of my fears
Every ripple speaks the truth, carved through the years
Memories à la carte, they swirl but never fade
In the dark embrace, where innocence gets slain

Eyes like deep caves, drawing me so near
Each step I take, it whispers in my ear
Caught in the current where the nightmares spin
Wrestling my fears, but they're pulling me in

Take me, take me, oh shadow in disguise
Trying to drown me in your hollow lies
Down by the river, where the secrets hide
I'm screaming for freedom, but you know I can't fight

I see a figure creep, a silhouette that glows
Pulling me closer, where the wild wind blows
Caught in the current where the nightmares spin
Wrestling my fears, but they're pulling me in

Take me, take me, oh shadow in disguise
Trying to drown me in your hollow lies
Down by the river, where the secrets hide
I'm screaming for freedom, but you know I can't fight

Take me, take me, oh shadow in disguise
Trying to drown me in your hollow lies
Down by the river, where the secrets hide
I'm screaming for freedom, but you know I can't fight
