Let The River In

You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricks
 I've seen you watching
 I've seen you drifting away
 I've seen you floating along
 I've seen you disappear
 Now, there ain't a cloud in sight
 And 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
 ♪
 But now you're drifting away
 Now you're floating along
 And soon you'll 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 a bit
 But now I'm free to sink my own damn ship
 I cut my branch down from my family tree
 To start a fire in the living room
 Now the house is just ash, this time it's sink or swim
 Let the river in
 If blood is thicker than water
 Then let the river in
 We might drift a ways, but we've got thick skin
 Let the river in
 If blood is thicker than water
 Then let the river in
 We might drift a ways, but we'll find our way again
