River of Life

Trace the lines on my face
The cracks in the wall
All you see is what's broken
We're in free fall
 
A flicker of light
Shoots across the sky   
Turns blue, turns red
And soon it's out of sight
 
I'm losing my mind 
from losing you  
Right through the skin 
Red looks blue
Oh River of Life 
down to the bone
I'm all alone
 
Shadows prolong
faces contort
I got no, nowhere to go
Sounds distort
 
So wasted again
Lights shift and sway
While the river is running, 
You're running away
 
I'm losing my mind 
From losing you
Right through the skin 
Red looks blue
Oh River of Life 
They chase the bone
on my own          
 
Things will never be the same
As long as we're apart
I wanna dive back in again
And take it from the start  
 
But you have made up your mind
You can't stay
now I'm watching you watching me
drift away
 
And my shadows prolong
As lights shift and sway
And the river runs dry
As you're running away
