River of Deceit

My pain is self-chosen, at least so The Prophet says

I could either burn or cut off my pride and buy some time

A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waistThe River of Deceit pulls down, oh

The only direction we flow is down

Down, oh down, down, oh down

Down, oh down, down, oh downMy pain is self-chosen, at least I believe it to be

I could either drown or pull off my skin and swim to shore

Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to seeThe River of Deceit pulls down, yeah

The only direction we flow is down

Down, oh down, down, oh down

Down, oh down, down, oh downThe pain is self-chosen, yeah

Our pain is self-chosenDown, oh down, down, oh down

Down, oh down, down, oh down
