The River

from Kingprince by Cassino

lyrics

The boat that failed its only sail is burning in the river.
It’s heating up the water mains while the rest of the house just shivers.
It’s sinking fast straight through the grass…
A buoyant mask, a medical grasp…
And that was all I had to give her.
But I will take my hands mistakes and stay afloat in the flushing river.
With the smell of your soul and fix the bridge that bowed
From the blows that age delivers.
But I fear collapse as your weight will pass… you know I love you more than you will know…

Something is coming for us, its coming through the vents, for the worst and best…

And so it seems, like old beliefs, we’re struggling in the water.
Fishing for a fish that knows of a way to save the other.
Don’t turn blue, it’s turning the room…
And as it spins the violence coats the walls in bother.
Carousels and comet tails…are somewhere in this river.
…And lonely has lost my mind…
