Rivers in Your Mouth

Hold it in, the river in your mouth is pouring out

Water takes the shape of all that it surrounds

Yeah I know, I've been trying too hard

To keep in time with all of the hours in your day

Hold it in, they wouldn't let you out among the crowd

Not like that, these streets will tear you down

How it is, under my skin

Now you are pictures of all you'll ever be

I am not myself today

I am not feeling ok

Hold it in, the river in your mouth is pouring out

Water takes the shape of all that it surrounds

Yeah I know, I've been trying so hard

To keep it in time with all of the sounds that you make

Hold it in, they come at you from both sides of your mind

Thick and thin, these walls you'll always stand behind

I'm sick and tired, oh I begged for the world to change

But it don't, it ain't all you and that's the thing

I am not myself today

I am not feeling ok

And you showed me hope amongst the hellequins in spring

And you told me life was learning how to be your friend
