Let the River In

You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricks
I've seen you watching
I've seen you drifting away
Seen you falling along
I've seen you disappear

There ain't a cloud in sight
Look through the snow and the branches
I can count all your teeth
Yeah I can count all your teeth
Now the bed's on fire and the ceiling's gone
And your mom and dad still sing the same old song
Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend
Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend

Now you're drifting away
Now you're falling along
I've seen you disappear

I closed my eyes and saw my father's sins
They covered me like a second skin
I peeled them off and sure I bled it in
And now I'm free to sink my own damn ship
I cut the bridge down from my family tree
To start a fire in the middle
Now the house is just ash this time, sink or swim

Let the river in
If blood is thicker than water
Then let the river in
We might drift away, but we've got thick skin

Let the river in
If blood is thicker than water
Then let the river in
We might drift away, but we'll find our way again
